Professor Christopher Bovis joins MAP as an Advisor

MAP is delighted to announce that Professor Chris Bovis (JD, MPhil, LLM, FRSA) has joined as an Advisor, bringing decades of experience and expertise to support MAP’s work on public procurement and Environmental & Social Value. 

Chris is the H.K. Bevan Chair in Law and Professor of European Business Law at the University of Hull, as well as Managing Editor of the European Procurement & Public Private Partnership Law Review. He is an internationally recognised authority on EU public procurement and public-private partnerships, and his work has shaped significant legislative and policy frameworks, notably contributing to the UK’s Social Value Act, the European Public Services Directive, and the formulation of Section 106 in the UK.  

He has been instrumental in shifting procurement practices away from a narrow focus on cost, towards an approach that integrates socio-economic factors, advising public bodies on how best to embed Social Value in infrastructure projects. Through extensive collaboration with governments and industry, Chris has provided evidence to House of Commons select committees, offering strategic insights into procurement, rail infrastructure, and public service delivery.  

A highly published author whose writing is translated into multiple languages, Chris continues to guide policymakers across the UK and EU, underscoring procurement’s potential to deliver value for money and meaningful public benefit.  

By bringing in his expert knowledge, MAP is able to strengthen its offer to its clients and partners. 

MAP strengthens the resilience, sustainability and growth of the entities it works for.  MAP does this through International Trade and Supply Chain solutions that advise, inform and connect: buyers, suppliers, investors and stakeholders.  MAP is increasingly focused on, and aligned with, the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals.
