Integrate electronic tendering and award into existing management routines rather than running it separately.
Electronic Tendering: Preparation, Publication and Transparent Award
A working programme in electronic tendering and award for managers who have to deliver with existing resources.
Course Overview
Warehouse performance on electronic tendering and award is decided by layout and discipline long before technology. Savings claimed on tendering and award at signature are frequently lost during execution. It is written for people who have to make this area of procurement and supply operations work with the resources they already have. The programme is built to be used, and every section of electronic tendering and award it covers ends in something applicable. A common pattern is strong design of the practice within procurement and supply operations paired with weak follow-through. Mature organisations treat tendering and award as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting electronic tendering and award, ready to be adapted internally. Cases are chosen to expose the trade-offs in tendering and award rather than to illustrate ideal conditions. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for the procurement and supply operations discipline rather than a set of notes.
