Leading Supplier Development 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 tender evaluation and contract administration from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with total cost of ownership, inventory optimisation and spend analysis in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Review total cost of ownership and say plainly whether it is working, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
Spot where inventory optimisation is failing before it becomes a finding
Improve spend analysis within their own organisation
Make a decision about contract negotiation without waiting for a specialist
