Procurement - Training for Shared Services

L&D for GNFR/Procurement

Hi there

I used to be the Director of L&D for the Chartered Instutute of Purchasing and Supply and have worked with lots of organisations to help with this. Without knowing the size and scope of the team you’re looking to develop it’s difficult to be specific but here are some starters of the basics you’d expect to see:

Developing and managing contracts
Legal
Supplier Relationship Management
Negotiation skills
Sourcing
Risk Management
Working with/managing relationships with clients/stakeholders
Costing/Finance
Managing purchasing process/ops
Supply Chain Management
Softer skills/behaviours: communication and influencing/relationships/project management

There are some good training needs analysis tools on the market which could help you pin point what you need further. Let me know if you would like more information and I could point you in the direction of some help.

Good luck!

Vanessa
