The procurement process is how Buyers choose suppliers and services in a fair, transparent and accountable manner. One that protects the buyer as well as the supplier.
The purchase of goods and services is a necessary part of our daily operations and it’s important that those charge with purchasing decisions are given the support necessary to make the best decisions for their Buyers.
This workshop designed to give buyers practical and straightforward assistance so that goods/services are procured:
- In line legislation and Buyers internal rules
- Consistently, efficiently and effectively across all competitions; and
