Leading Contract Administration Teams
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers contract negotiation and contract administration from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supplier development, tender evaluation and strategic sourcing in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of supplier development rather than escalating it, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Bring tender evaluation into line with current good practice
- Review strategic sourcing and say plainly whether it is working
- Explain supplier relationship management to someone who does not do the work
