WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE

Effective public procurement starts long before the tender. Sourcing without proper market intelligence leads to high costs, supplier risks, and poor value. This 1-day workshop provides the essential framework for conducting robust market research and analysis before you procure, enabling you to build a data-backed strategy that delivers measurable, long-term value.

This is a practical, hands-on course focused on the “how-to” of procurement intelligence. You will master diverse data collection methods, from compiling effective Requests for Information (RFIs) to leveraging modern tools like the CSD and AI. Through practical activities and case studies, you’ll learn to apply powerful analysis techniques directly to your sourcing challenges.
