Tender and Bid Management for Non-Specialists

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

Tender and Bid Management for Non-Specialists is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through category management and supplier relationship management without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with bid adjudication, warehouse operations and ethical sourcing in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

  • Make a decision about bid adjudication without waiting for a specialist, measured against ISO 20400 on sustainable procurement
  • Spot where warehouse operations is failing before it becomes a finding
  • Put ethical sourcing on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
  • Bring tender evaluation into line with current good practice
