Category Management in the Public Sector

Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online

Category Management in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including warehouse operations, demand planning and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with spend analysis, supply risk assessment and bid adjudication in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Make a decision about spend analysis without waiting for a specialist, measured against the CIPS professional standard
  • Take ownership of supply risk assessment rather than escalating it
  • Explain bid adjudication to someone who does not do the work
  • Bring inventory optimisation into line with current good practice
