Strategic Spend Analysis

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

Strategic Spend Analysis looks at this work from the level at which it is resourced and defended. The focus is on total cost of ownership, strategic sourcing and how both connect to what the organisation is actually trying to achieve. This matters at the strategic level because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount. Delegates leave able to work confidently with supplier relationship management, tender evaluation and contract administration in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Improve supplier relationship management within their own organisation, measured against the CIPS professional standard
Review tender evaluation and say plainly whether it is working
Spot where contract administration is failing before it becomes a finding
Put warehouse operations on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
