Advanced Contract Administration
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into warehouse operations, supplier development and the judgement calls that sit outside the CIPS professional standard. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with e-procurement systems, supplier performance measurement and supply risk assessment in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of e-procurement systems rather than escalating it, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Put supplier performance measurement on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Make a decision about supply risk assessment without waiting for a specialist
- Bring supplier relationship management into line with current good practice
