Fundamentals of Strategic Sourcing
2 days|Delivered on request
Fundamentals of Strategic Sourcing is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through tender evaluation and ethical sourcing 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 supplier relationship management, bid adjudication and demand planning in their own organisation.

- Review supplier relationship management and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
- Put bid adjudication on a footing they can defend to a reviewer

- Spot where e-procurement systems is failing before it becomes a finding
