1. Introduction
The following is a short introductory bibliography listing key reading in the English language on EU public procurement law, which has been produced by the Asia Inter University Network for Teaching and Research in Public Procurement Regulation. The bibliography is not intended to be comprehensive, but merely introductory. It is not intended to cover the law of individual Member States of the EC, although it includes some items of a general and/or comparative nature that deal with Member States implementation but also shed light on EC law itself.
Separate bibliographies have also been produced on: i) Regulating public procurement: general issues and regulation under the UNCITRAL Model Law on procurement; ii) Public procurement regulation within the WTO. The Network consortium is in the process of producing a more comprehensive bibliography on these and other subjects in public procurement (including the laws of certain individual countries), which it is hoped will be published later in 2009 and continuously updated.
The list has been compiled based on materials used for teaching modules on public procurement in some of the partner institutions of the Asia Link project. It should be emphasized that the selection of materials for inclusion is in part influenced by the focus of these particular modules and by the availability of materials at the partner institutions.
The bibliography was last updated in April 2009.
These materials were produced with the financial assistance of the EU. The contents of the materials are the sole responsibility of the University of Nottingham, member of the consortium involved in the EU Asia Inter University Network for Teaching and Research in Public Procurement Regulation and can under no circumstances be regarded as reflecting the position of the European Union. The EU Asia Inter University Network for Teaching and Research in Public Procurement Regulation is led by University of Nottingham (Project leader: Professor Sue Arrowsmith) and the other consortium members are Copenhagen Business School, the Central University of Finance and Economics (Beijing), Xinjiang University, and the University of Malaya.
