Design receiving, storage and picking flows supporting electronic tendering platforms.
Building Transparent and Competitive Electronic Tendering Platforms
Turn electronic tendering platforms from a stated policy into a practice your organisation can evidence.
Course Overview
Inventory tied up in electronic tendering platforms is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Most procurement disputes about the practice within procurement and supply operations originate in a specification written too quickly. Practitioner evidence points the same way: this part of procurement and supply operations improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The programme takes participants through electronic tendering platforms end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The programme works equally well for those formalising the procurement and supply operations capability for the first time and those improving an existing approach. A common pattern is strong design of this area of procurement and supply operations paired with weak follow-through. Sessions alternate between guided analysis of electronic tendering platforms and supervised application. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the practice within procurement and supply operations is working and when it is only appearing to. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the procurement and supply operations capability rather than a set of notes.
