Public Sector Procurement for Managers
3 days|Delivered on request
This programme is for the person accountable for the work rather than the person doing it. It covers inventory optimisation and category management 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 tender evaluation, contract negotiation and spend analysis in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Improve tender evaluation within their own organisation, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Put contract negotiation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Spot where spend analysis is failing before it becomes a finding
- Bring supplier performance measurement into line with current good practice
