Strategic Sourcing in the Public Sector

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

Strategic Sourcing in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including total cost of ownership, tender evaluation and the compliance obligations that come with it. The sector framing is necessary because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and generic training rarely survives contact with the local rules. Delegates leave able to work confidently with warehouse operations, spend analysis and contract administration in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Spot where warehouse operations is failing before it becomes a finding, measured against the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act
  • Improve spend analysis within their own organisation
  • Take ownership of contract administration rather than escalating it
  • Make a decision about supplier performance measurement without waiting for a specialist
