This programme is designed to help you adapt clear procurement strategies in order to transform the role of your procurement directorate and gain maximum value for money and commercial advantage for your organisation.
It is of particular benefit to those participants with some existing experience in procurement and wish to understand a more modern approach to enhancing the benefits that leading procurement thinking can bring. There will be an emphasis on world bank procurement, central government and private sector perspective which is enhanced through site visits and guest speakers with UK and international experience including the fast developing area of sustainable procurement.
Some aspects of the procurement cycle will be considered at a more advanced level including tender evaluation and contract management in order to minimise the financial and operational damage that is caused when a contractor fails in contractual obligations.
