     Effective Procurement

LMD specialises in training for staff who are not procurement specialists

The consequences of poor procurement are loss of time, money and reputation for the organisation, and frustration for all staff involved. Opportunities to achieve savings, drive up quality and achieve political, social and environmental goals through procurement are lost.

LMD works with in-house procurement specialists to:

  • define competent performance at different levels within the organisation
  • assess gaps in knowledge and skill and what these cost the organisation
  • bring learning and support to the point of need, so that staff can ‘get it right’ as and when they have to make a purchase or manage a contract
  • demonstrate learning as a pre-requisite for being given authority to spend.

Our workshops focus on:

  • Effective Procurement – enabling staff who are not procurement specialists to be confident in finding the right supplier, by developing and applying skills in supplier appraisal, specification writing and tender evaluation.
  • Contract Management – developing and applying skills in managing contracts so that business objectives are achieved in the most cost-effective and sustainable manner through the purchase of goods and services.

We don’t have a prescriptive approach - let’s talk together, consider the audience and the learning need, and agree the best solution to secure your business objectives. It could be classroom workshops, it could be e-learning, it could involve performance support or online resources, or a blend of some or all of these options. Until we’ve talked, we won’t know.
