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 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. |
