Overview

 

For any business spending money is the first step towards making money. But spend too much money on goods and services and the cost eats away at profits. Spend too little the quality of goods or services can be damaged. Both scenarios put the business in jeopardy so effective procurement is essential!

Like all business critical functions, procurement needs the best and the brightest people to join its ranks. It has to compete with other disciplines in the financial, engineering, and business world for the attention of young people.

In Ghana, the enactment of the Public Procurement Act (Act 663) of 2003 has created awareness in the Purchasing and Supply discipline. There is also a huge deficit of Purchasing and Supply professionals in the country, granting qualified professionals a wide range of opportunities from a young age.

 

Spending money on goods and services is what companies do on a regular basis. This means spending too much or too little can bring about the success or failure of the business and thus, the need for effective procurement practices.

 

The procurement function has become more specialized and every procurement specialist requires formal training to delivers total satisfaction to their organization. Such training must equip the procurement professional with the necessary knowledge and competencies required for getting the best possible value for money when purchasing goods and services.

 

The program introduces the participants to industry best practices and methodologies including templates and tools.
