Prepare the audit trail for every award decision under local content in public contracts.
Building Strategies to Support Local Content in Government Contracts
Turn local content in public contracts from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Single sourcing on local content in public contracts looks efficient until the day it is not. A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside public contracts. Content is organised around the decisions practitioners actually face in this strand of procurement and supply operations, not around theory headings. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting local content in public contracts, ready to be adapted internally. It is written for people who have to make the procurement and supply operations capability work with the resources they already have. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place public contracts among the areas with the widest performance spread. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in local content in public contracts rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Moving public contracts from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants leave with a plan for this area of procurement and supply operations sized to what their organisation can realistically absorb.
