Course Overview

Single sourcing on integrity and transparency in procurement looks efficient until the day it is not. Savings claimed on transparency in procurement at signature are frequently lost during execution. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for the procurement and supply operations capability. Organisations that document integrity and transparency in procurement properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. Moving this area of procurement and supply operations from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. It concentrates on the parts of transparency in procurement that determine outcomes and treats the rest proportionately. The teaching approach is deliberately practical: participants build a sourcing procedure for integrity and transparency in procurement as they go. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about transparency in procurement. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this strand of procurement and supply operations survives a hostile question.
