Supplier Relationship Management in the Public Sector

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

Supplier Relationship Management in the Public Sector takes the discipline and works it through the constraints of this operating context, including warehouse operations, supplier performance measurement 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 spend analysis, category management and strategic sourcing in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Make a decision about spend analysis without waiting for a specialist, measured against the CIPS professional standard
Improve category management within their own organisation
Put strategic sourcing on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
Take ownership of contract administration rather than escalating it
