Distribution Management in the Public Sector

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

Distribution Management in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including demand planning, supply risk assessment and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with contract negotiation, supplier relationship management and strategic sourcing in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Take ownership of contract negotiation rather than escalating it, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
  • Improve supplier relationship management within their own organisation
  • Bring strategic sourcing into line with current good practice
  • Spot where e-procurement systems is failing before it becomes a finding
