New Visiting Scholar, Professor Geo Quinot, at PPRG

Geo Quinot, Professor of Law at Stellenbosch University, South Africa, and Director of the African Procurement Law Unit, will visit the School of Law at the University of Nottingham in June to conduct research on a developmental framework for public procurement law.

His research focuses on how public procurement law can be approached within the context of development and aims to bring together various strands under the notion of development that have impacted on recent reforms in procurement law internationally.

These include notions of social justice, economic development, innovation and environmental considerations that have emerged as the main aspects of sustainable public procurement. In his work, Geo pursues linkages between public procurement law, the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the global business and human rights agenda.
