WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE

National Treasury Aligned

We are excited to invite you to an interactive Public Sector Strategic Sourcing and Category Management workshop. Join us as we dive into and unpack the current challenges faced with the Public Sector in implementing the strategic sourcing tools, models, and processes.

This workshop will integrate theoretical and practical concepts that are aligned to best practice and leading concepts such as the Sourcing Business Model approach.

The approach is also aligned to the Public Procurement ACT (No. 28 of 2024) on positioning public procurement as a strategic lever for economic transformation, industrialisation and beneficiation. The workshop aligns with the modernized National Treasury strategic procurement framework and practice guides (2024) and will guide you through its three key phases.
