Course Overview
A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside specifications and offer evaluation. Most procurement disputes about offer evaluation originate in a specification written too quickly. They leave able to brief senior management on the procurement and supply operations capability in terms that support a decision. Buying a tool rarely fixes specifications and offer evaluation; the underlying capability has to be built internally first. It is designed for mixed groups, so that the procurement and supply operations discipline is examined from more than one functional angle. Participants apply offer evaluation to their own supply function throughout, so the output is directly usable. Applied research in procurement and supply operations consistently shows that early structure around specifications and offer evaluation reduces downstream rework. The programme takes participants through offer evaluation end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the procurement and supply operations capability that the participant is prepared to defend internally.
