This 5-day course covers integrated procurement and supply chain management principles and practices. Participants learn strategic sourcing approaches, supplier relationship management, supply chain design, and performance measurement frameworks that align supply chain with business strategy.

Topics include category management, make-versus-buy analysis, outsourcing decisions, and supply chain collaboration that enable organizations to achieve cost efficiency, quality, innovation, and customer responsiveness through supply chain excellence.

Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from public procurement bodies, commercial supply chains, logistics operations, and donor-funded tendering environments, examining how procurement and supply chain management is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for procurement and module 1, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Develop robust procurement and supply chain management frameworks that support successful implementation and measurable outcomes.
• Analyze performance using recognized evaluation methods drawn from procurement and module 1.
• Design practical systems that strengthen accountability, transparency and evidence generation.
• Evaluate outcomes and assess longer-term impact across a range of operating contexts.
• Apply relevant tools, frameworks and analytical methodologies confidently and appropriately.
• Integrate procurement and module 2 into existing organizational processes and reporting structures.
• Strengthen decision-making and operational effectiveness through evidence-based professional practice.
