Import and Export Management in the Public Sector

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

Import and Export Management in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including supplier development, bid adjudication 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 logistics management, contract negotiation and supplier performance measurement in their own organisation.
