Procurement Training
Procurement training courses are available for departmental buyers to understand the University's Financial and Procurement regulations and why it is important to carry out compliant competition processes.
New Procurement Workshops coming soon in 2013!
Following the valuable feedback comments received from delegates who attended the Introduction to Procurement course, we have developed a series of intermediate level ‘How To...’ workshops, aimed to give people a more in-depth understanding of the tendering and supplier management process.
All procurement exercises (whether these are lower value RFQ’s or high value ITT’s) have a defined procurement cycle which can be expressed in four pillars – ‘Prepare’, ‘Compete’, ‘Contract’ & ‘Manage’.
