Tender and Bid Management Masterclass
Procurement and Supply Chain|5 days|Classroom or live online
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into e-procurement systems, category management and the judgement calls that sit outside the CIPS professional standard. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because procurement decisions are now audited for process as closely as for price. Delegates leave able to work confidently with demand planning, logistics management and bid adjudication in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Take ownership of demand planning rather than escalating it, measured against the CIPS professional standard
- Explain logistics management to someone who does not do the work
- Make a decision about bid adjudication without waiting for a specialist
- Put inventory optimisation on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
