In contrast to other modules, there is surprisingly little literature which supplements our analysis of the economic aspects of government purchasing. An approach which chimes in with our own is found in the extremely useful:
Keith Hartley (1990) Economics of Defence Policy, Brasseys: London.
A more general official statement of UK government procurement policies and procedures is to be found in Setting New Standards, A Strategy for Government Procurement, Cm. 2480, May 1995, HMSO: London.
