WHY CHOOSE THIS COURSE

Unsolicited proposals—bids submitted to a public institution without a formal request—are a complex issue. For private suppliers, they offer a path to present unique and innovative solutions. For public sector SCM leaders, they represent a difficult balance between fostering service delivery improvements and managing critical risks of fairness, transparency, and compliance.

This intensive half-day workshop provides essential clarity for both sides. We will explore the debate on whether these bids should be encouraged and identify the critical controls necessary to manage them. Crucially, this course provides a deep dive into the National Treasury Practice Notes on unsolicited bids, analyzing common process shortfalls and a real-world case study.
