Procuring and managing the buildings and infrastructure we produce is therefore inherently complicated and resource intensive. Over the years, construction industries the world over have developed complex solutions for procuring their products that involve multi-source supply chains procuring and integrating to develop the buildings and structures we need.

This issue of Management, Procurement and Law, has therefore full coverage of the main issues that form the core themes of the journal and provides a valuable contribution to the advancement of the state of knowledge in the construction industry.
