3Ps of Public Sector Procurement: Principles, Practices and Performance

Procurement’s critical role in organisational success is recognised as never before, but it can only succeed if it is strategic, proactive and meticulously planned and managed. 

This programme offers a comprehensive and essential guide to the entire procurement cycle and will equip procurement managers with the vital tools and techniques to manage the procurement process for goods and services efficiently, effectively, and in line with international best practices. 

It’s focused on the ‘3Ps’: Principles (including transparency and accountability), Practices (including potential weak spots such as planning, tender evaluation and contract management) and Performance (including getting best value from procurement and risk management). Delegates will also drill down into approaches to compliance and managing complaints, supplier relationship and category management, and the need-to-know essentials of the World Bank New Procurement Framework. 

Delivered using a highly interactive style, with practical case studies, simulations and visits, delegates will return to the office confident to put what they have learned to work. 

Delegates receive one year’s affiliate membership of CIPS.
