The Procurement Act support packages provide suppliers with access to the knowledge and skills they need to maximise the benefits of the Act. While there is substantial coverage of what the Procurement Act is, until now the insight into how to maximise commercial benefit from it has been lacking.

Suppliers that invest into understanding the changes from a commercial perspective will enjoy an advantage over those that fail to understand the scale of change – or which lack the insight to connect it to their business strategy.

1-Day Consultancy Package

  • Format: Available both in-person and online

It includes an evaluation of your current knowledge and readiness before drilling into key areas of the Act that can be leveraged commercially.

2-Day Consultancy Package

  • Format: Available both in-person and online
  • Description: The two-day course builds on the knowledge gained from the one-day course with a strong focus on skills development. If your organisation already sells to the public sector, the Act will affect your chances of retaining existing contracts as buyers have more options and freedoms to explore the market. In addition to the foundations covered in day one, this course supports suppliers in understanding how buyer behaviours and approaches will be affected by the Act – and how to navigate those changes to ensure your organisation benefits.
