CIPS Introduction to Public Procurement Bristol 25th April 2018

I shall be running the CIPS Introduction to Public Procurement course in Bristol in April 2018.  The next day is the Applying EU Public Procurement course, which follows on from the Introduction.  This time round we are not following that up with the Future of Public Procurement day, but that will be next run in Manchester in June 2018.  By which time the future of public procurement may have changed from where we are now - or may not.  That one needs regular checking and updating.

This course covers the basics of Public Procurement and so is useful for people joining the Public Sector, joining procurement, wanting a refresher, taking over running a procurement department or trying to sell to the public sector.  Or at least we often have delegates with those backgrounds.  If you are just interested, you are still welcome.

CIPS Public Procurement courses - Birmingham 20/21/22 February 2018

Next week I am running 3 days in Birmingham for the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply, covering UK Public Procurement.  The first day is the Introduction and is fully booked (next one is 25th April in Bristol).  Second one is Applying the Procurement regulations, and the third is the Future of Public Procurement .

3 good days, which can be taken as a block or one at a time - they are as standalone as I can make them.

CIPS Applying Public Sector Procurement Processes, Birmingham, 22 February 2017

My second CIPS open course of the year, will be the follow up to Introduction to Public Sector Procurement where we look in more detail at the procurement processes, and in particular the less common ones such as Competitive Dialogue, Innovation Partnership, and Dynamic Procurement Systems.

It is ideal to do as the second day of an introduction to Public Procurement, or to look at the less common processes.

Details are here.

Training Courses: CIPS Introduction to Public Sector Procurement and Applying EU Public Procurement Processes

On behalf of CIPS I am running two courses in November at the de Vere Venues Devonport House Hotel in Greenwich (shown above, during a promotion for the movie Thor: The Dark World - incidentally I was staying there at that time.  It is one of my favourite hotels.  My son tells me the movie is good too).

The courses are Introduction to Public Sector Procurement on Tuesday 8th November 2016, and Applying EU Public Procurement Processes on Wednesday 9th November 2016.

The titles are a bit long but do rather pass the Ronseal test of doing exactly what it says on the tin.

Ideally you should do day 1 before day 2, but it is not totally essential.  I think that the Introduction course is getting rather full but there is more space on the Applying EU processes course.

They are going to run again next year (no doubt updated a little), but not until 17/18 May 2017, in Manchester.
