Managing Strategic Sourcing
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers strategic sourcing and tender evaluation 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 contract negotiation, demand planning and contract administration in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Put contract negotiation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
- Make a decision about demand planning without waiting for a specialist
- Take ownership of contract administration rather than escalating it
- Review e-procurement systems and say plainly whether it is working
