Why this course

Put the right contracts in place – and make awards that stand up to scrutiny.

Engaging and managing contractors and suppliers is a vital part of every organisation. Large sums of money are at stake, and projects of every size depend on selecting the right contractors, vendors, professional service providers and other third-party suppliers.

Procurement teams have to define user requirements clearly, attract the right bidders, evaluate their proposals correctly and make a contract award that holds up when it is questioned. This course gives you the methods and templates to do exactly that.
