Contract Administration for Non-Specialists

Procurement and Supply Chain|2 days|Classroom or live online

Contract Administration for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through logistics management and tender evaluation without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with warehouse operations, contract negotiation and inventory optimisation in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Take ownership of warehouse operations rather than escalating it, measured against the CIPS professional standard
Put contract negotiation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
Improve inventory optimisation within their own organisation
Bring bid adjudication into line with current good practice
