Strategic Sourcing and Category Management
Sourcing decisions shape cost, quality, and risk long after a contract is signed. This course develops a structured approach to strategic sourcing and the management of spend by category. Participants learn to analyse spend, understand supply markets, and build sourcing strategies that deliver measurable value.
Contract Management and Administration
Value is often won or lost after the contract award, during the day to day management of the agreement. This course covers the skills needed to administer contracts, manage performance, and resolve issues before they escalate. Delegates study obligations, variations, claims, and structured relationship management.
Supplier Relationship and Performance Management
The best value often comes not from a single negotiation but from a productive long term relationship with key suppliers. This course explains how to segment suppliers, set expectations, and manage performance collaboratively. Participants build practical scorecards and governance structures.
