Working with the private sector can be a very useful way to help us achieve our project outcomes and to deliver great services using their expertise. However, unless we produce a great business case to justify the investment, unless we have an effective procurement process to get the right service at the right price from the right supplier, and unless we manage how the supplier performs we will fail. This programme takes you through UK best practice in the 3 key areas of procurement, business cases and contract management, informing you of the rules and guidance you must be aware of but also the traps that you can fall into, if care is not exercised at each stage of the process. This three-day programme gives you all you need to know in a way that is easy to take back into the workplace.
