In the process of carrying out this research, the team has produced a comprehensive study of procurement methods which looks in detail at the relative benefits and costs of different ways of working, with sometimes surprising results. As such, it is not only a valuable guide for practitioners on the complexities of the procurement process, but also an outline of the relevance of economic theory to the construction sector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill Hughes\u003c\/strong\u003e is Head of School of Construction Management and Engineering at the University of Reading, UK and Editor of the international journal \u003cem\u003eConstruction Management and Economics\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePatricia M.
