Sustainable Procurement for Non-Specialists

Procurement and Supply Chain|2 days|Classroom or live online

Sustainable Procurement for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through contract administration and supplier development without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because category spend is one of the few remaining places to find margin without cutting headcount, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with ethical sourcing, logistics management and strategic sourcing in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Bring ethical sourcing into line with current good practice, measured against the PFMA and MFMA supply chain regulations
Take ownership of logistics management rather than escalating it
Improve strategic sourcing within their own organisation
Put inventory optimisation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
