Course Overview
Savings claimed on contractor pre-qualification at signature are frequently lost during execution. Inventory tied up in this part of procurement and supply operations is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. Participants test their assumptions about this area of procurement and supply operations against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The level assumes working familiarity with the supply function but no prior formal training in contractor pre-qualification. Buying a tool rarely fixes the practice within procurement and supply operations; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about this aspect of procurement and supply operations under scrutiny. This programme builds contractor pre-qualification from first principles, without padding and without omitting what matters. Benchmarking exercises repeatedly place the wider procurement and supply operations agenda among the areas with the widest performance spread. Participants finish with a short, specific brief on this aspect of procurement and supply operations ready to put in front of a decision maker.
