Fundamentals of Public Sector Procurement
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Public Sector Procurement is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through category management and contract negotiation without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with bid adjudication, supplier development and warehouse operations in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Explain bid adjudication to someone who does not do the work, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Improve supplier development within their own organisation
- Make a decision about warehouse operations without waiting for a specialist
- Put strategic sourcing on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
