Abstract
The chapter explores foundational concepts from strategy and procurement, illustrating how procurement strategies align with broader organisational and governmental objectives. It highlights emerging challenges, including goal conflicts, professionalisation, and technological advancements, while encouraging critical reflection on their implications for procurement practices. Practical guidance is provided for developing effective procurement strategies, with attention to factors such as value-for-money policies, environmental standards, and supplier diversity. Case studies and examples from international contexts, such as the EU’s green and social procurement initiatives, underscore how public procurement can address global challenges like climate change and social inclusion.
