Procurement Management

Course Description

Procurement management is an essential operational process that involves the systematic planning, sourcing, negotiation, procurement, and management of goods, services, or works from external suppliers or vendors. It forms a vital link in the supply chain and plays a significant role in determining the efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and overall success of projects and programs.

The procurement management process begins with the identification of the client's specific needs and requirements. This is followed by pre-qualifying potential vendors based on their ability to meet these needs and requirements. After a careful selection process, contracts are negotiated with the chosen vendors to ensure the most favorable terms.

The procurement management process doesn't end with the signing of contracts, however. It also involves overseeing the delivery of the goods or services to ensure they are delivered on time, within the agreed budget, and meet the required quality standards. This oversight function is critical to preventing delays, cost overruns, and quality issues that could potentially impact the project or program.

Effective procurement management is a key determinant of the success of any project or program. It not only directly influences the time, cost, and quality of the services or activities to be performed but also contributes to achieving value for money, improving supply chain relationships, reducing uncertainties, and ultimately enhancing the organization's bottom line.

This workshop has been specifically designed to provide you with the essential skills and knowledge required to effectively support clients in the procurement process for building and engineering projects. Through a series of interactive sessions and practical exercises, you will gain a solid understanding of the fundamental principles and best practices of procurement management.

As part of the broader commercial management function, this workshop forms part of a series of modules aimed at equipping you with the necessary expertise to manage all aspects of commercial operations effectively. Whether you are new to the field or looking to upgrade your skills, this workshop will provide you with the knowledge and skills you need to excel in the field of procurement management.
