Public Sector Procurement for Small and Medium Enterprises

Procurement and Supply Chain|3 days|Classroom or live online

Public Sector Procurement for Small and Medium Enterprises takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including contract administration, supplier relationship management and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because supply disruption has become a standing operational risk rather than an exception, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with e-procurement systems, tender evaluation and supplier performance measurement in their own organisation.
