‘An
excellent overview of a vast subject, I have gained a valuable knowledge
and confidence in using and complying with the EU regulations. During
the day I felt comfortable in asking questions to gain most from
the tutors knowledge and expertise.’
WHY
ATTEND…?
The importance of skills development among personnel within the
public procurement community cannot be underestimated because of
the inherent relationship between successful procurement and the
skill levels of practitioners.
WHO
SHOULD ATTEND…?
The
Beginner’s Guide to the EU Regulations seminar is specifically
designed to deliver public procurement training for:
•
new entrants to the public procurement community
• personnel who are engaged in delivering public procurement
for only part of their time
• personnel
who need to refresh their knowledge ofprocurement regulations
• personnel for whom public procurement is one job among several
The challenge for all public sector organisations is to ensure that
they set and achieve the very highest standards in procurement practice.
This programme is designed to provide a key step towards the achievement
of this goal through the development of suitably trained staff.
DEVELOPING
SPECIALIST SKILLS
Those
engaged in delivering public procurement are required to carry out
a range of activities as part of the procurement function. These
are much more extensive than is often assumed, requiring the application
of a wide variety of specialist knowledge, skills and expertise.
Through
developing the necessary skills, procurement staff will avoid bad
practice and ensure compliance with the law, improve efficiency
and inspire in suppliers and colleagues alike confidence in their
professional ability.
Understanding
and applying the EU rules to the acquisition of goods, works or
services, whilst continuing to comply with the UK Regulations, is
a foundation stone to delivering compliant procurement.
This
one-day course is aimed at delivering not just the basics, but also
the more detailed knowledge required to enhance skill levels and
increase professionalism. Principally focused on the EC Treaty rules,
the processes required to ensure best practice and the main principles
of the EU Directives and UK Regulations, the Beginner’s Guide
to the EU Regulations seminar provides an overview of the issues
impacting on the wider public procurement community in the 21st
century.
Appropriate
procurement training is vital to help ensure that public sector
organisations are intelligent customers. |
