Contract Negotiation for Non-Specialists
2 days|Delivered on request
Contract Negotiation for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through warehouse operations and supplier relationship management without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with inventory optimisation, supplier performance measurement and contract administration in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain inventory optimisation to someone who does not do the work, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
- Spot where supplier performance measurement is failing before it becomes a finding
- Bring contract administration into line with current good practice
- Improve supply risk assessment within their own organisation
