The challenge
Public sector organisations must ensure that they set and achieve the very highest standards in procurement practice, ensuring that all contracts deliver both compliance and best value.
Understanding and applying the EU rules to the acquisition of goods, works and services, while continuing to comply with the UK Regulations, is fundamental 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, Understanding EU Procurement - A Scottish Perspective provides an overview of the issues impacting on the wider public procurement community.
Who should attend?
The Understanding EU Procurement - A Scottish Perspective 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 of procurement regulations
- personnel for whom public procurement is one job among several
