Overview

Developments from University of Nottingham over the last two decades have made public procurement law one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving areas of law.

Given the extent to which legal rules now govern the day-to-day conduct of most procurement activity, knowledge of procurement law has become vital for anyone working in public sector procurement.

It is designed in particular for:

procurement officers whose role demands an understanding of the legal rules
policymakers responsible for designing and implementing legal rules on procurement
lawyers advising on public procurement

those seeking to undertake research or teaching in public procurement

The Public Procurement Law and Policy programme from University of Nottingham provides a thorough understanding of:

the nature of law and legal process
the principles and rules of public procurement law
the application of these rules in key national and international systems/models, including UNCITRAL, the WTO, the World Bank, the EU and the UK

how to implement best practice in the context of a legal framework

Career

Achieving this qualification demonstrates knowledge in this specialist field of public procurement regulation that is both high level and spreads across the whole field, as well as advanced skills in the law for those who have no prior legal training.

Most students are already working the field of public procurement, often in a very senior capacity, whether as lawyers (in-house or in private practice), procurement practitioners in the public/utility sectors, consultants, policymakers or (in a few cases) suppliers. For these students, the specialist knowledge and understanding of procurement law gained from the programme greatly enhances their ability to perform their roles.
