WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE

To master the Legal Aspects of Procurement Contracts, every supply chain professional must be able to confidently answer three critical questions:

  • Are you able to accurately interpret supplier contract clauses and protect your organisation from hidden liabilities?

  • Do you fully understand the binding legal weight behind daily procurement documents like purchase orders, invoices, and delivery notes?

  • What are your legal obligations before and after a contract is awarded to prevent costly disputes?

Our specialised training course addresses these critical questions using real-world case studies, practical group workshops, and recent South African court rulings. You will gain a clear, non-technical understanding of commercial law and walk away with a standard set of buyer-focused terms and conditions designed to minimize your company’s purchasing risk.
