Public Sector Procurement for Non-Specialists
2 days|Delivered on request
Public Sector Procurement for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through supplier relationship management and warehouse operations without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with e-procurement systems, contract negotiation and supplier development in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring e-procurement systems into line with current good practice, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
- Put contract negotiation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer

- Review bid adjudication and say plainly whether it is working
