Category Management
Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online
This Category Management programme gives delegates a working command of bid adjudication and spend analysis, grounded in ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement. Organisations invest here because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with contract administration, supplier relationship management and strategic sourcing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about contract administration without waiting for a specialist, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Explain supplier relationship management to someone who does not do the work
- Review strategic sourcing and say plainly whether it is working
- Spot where total cost of ownership is failing before it becomes a finding
