Public Sector Procurement Masterclass

Procurement and Supply Chain|5 days|Classroom or live online

This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into spend analysis, strategic sourcing and the judgement calls that sit outside the CIPS professional standard. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supplier performance measurement, supplier development and supplier relationship management in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Take ownership of supplier performance measurement rather than escalating it, measured against the CIPS professional standard
Explain supplier development to someone who does not do the work
Improve supplier relationship management within their own organisation
Spot where warehouse operations is failing before it becomes a finding
