Managing Public Sector Procurement
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 contract negotiation and inventory optimisation from the position of someone who must review, approve and answer for the output. Managers carry this because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price, and the accountability does not delegate cleanly. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supplier performance measurement, supplier relationship management and e-procurement systems in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Make a decision about supplier performance measurement without waiting for a specialist, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
- Put supplier relationship management on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Improve e-procurement systems within their own organisation
- Explain warehouse operations to someone who does not do the work
