Procurement Training
Procurement confidence matters beyond the procurement team
Procurement and contract management decisions are often made by people across the organisation, including senior leaders, budget holders, contract managers and operational teams.
When responsibilities are unclear, issues can develop around specifications, supplier management, contract records, evaluation, renewal planning and governance.
GBS Procure helps housing associations, councils and public sector teams build practical knowledge so colleagues understand what they need to do, what they need to record and when procurement support should be involved.
Our Approach
Training can be tailored around your organisation, responsibilities and level of experience, and can include:
-
procurement awareness and governance
-
contract management responsibilities
-
Procurement Act 2023 requirements
-
supplier performance and KPIs
-
specification development
-
tender evaluation and moderation
-
social value and sustainability
-
supplier readiness and tender response guidance
-
procurement risk and record keeping
Sessions can be delivered as short briefings, practical workshops or targeted training for specific teams.
Our focus is always on making procurement easier to understand and easier to apply in day-to-day work.
Clearer responsibilities. More confident decisions.
Effective training helps teams understand their responsibilities, recognise procurement and contract risks earlier and maintain better records.
It can also strengthen supplier management, improve procurement planning and help colleagues make better-informed decisions throughout the procurement and contract lifecycle.
