- Expanded content aligned with international best practices,
- Clearer distinctions between procurement methods and solicitation tools,
- And newly added reflection questions to help reinforce learning and real-world application.
To deepen your learning experience, readers of this book can also use the Public Procurement Basics GPT—an AI-powered tool I developed based on two of my other titles. It responds to specific procurement questions and complements the book’s content with interactive, practical support.
