Why Choose this Training Course?

No organisation can succeed without good procurement.

You need to appoint the best suppliers, and ensure that contracts maximise your value for money. By using the correct processes for selecting suppliers, costs will be controlled, quality will improve and organisational efficiency will increase.

Suppliers will seek to optimise their return and need to be engaged in a way that ensures an appropriate relationship for the short and long term. Having the right knowledge and skills in tendering, procurement and negotiation is essential for any organisation to be successful, and requires appropriate planning and preparation rather than luck and optimism.
