The third edition of William Sims Curry's award winning first book, Contracting for Services in State and Local Government Agencies: Best Practices for Public Procurement, significantly updates contracting best practices by increasing the number of best practices in public procurement from thirty (30) to forty-eight (48). WSC Consulting's procurement books are used as textbooks for MPA programs, undergraduate courses in public procurement, and public procurement certification programs . This book is also used by state and local government agencies as the authority for upgrading their contracting policies and procedures. This book complements WSC Consulting's public procurement consulting. A second follow-on to the original and first iteration of nationwide best practices research project was the basis for the third edition updates. Eighteen additional best practices are included in the third edition for a total of forty-eight (48) best practices in public procurement. WSC Consulting developed corrected formulas to replace present anomalous formulas used by certain states and local public entities as well as by educational institution procurement offices for weighing proposal evaluation scores. The glossary of contracting terms, best practices RFPs & contracts, and other contract management tools are available online. This book was released in September 2022.
The third edition of William Sims Curry's second book, Government Contracting: Ethical Promises and Perils in Public Procurement, describes common practices in public procurement that endanger government agencies, government contractors, and individual government officials and employees. Strategies for avoiding such dangerous contracting practices are fully described in both of Curry's procurement books. Book owners have access to best practices requests for proposals (RFPs) and best practices contracts. An updated process for evaluating proposals and selecting the best value proposal is featured in the third editions of both books. Additional contract management tools are also available online. The content of both books is compatible with WSC Consulting's approach to procurement consulting. This book was released in December 2022.
