Leading Contract Negotiation Teams
Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers spend analysis and strategic sourcing 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 contract administration, category management and inventory optimisation in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Review contract administration and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Put category management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Take ownership of inventory optimisation rather than escalating it
- Bring warehouse operations into line with current good practice
