Finance is always looking to build the procurement and contracting capabilities across the APS.
Recently members of our Procurement Capability Branch were in Townsville to deliver training to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority.
The sessions were delivered over two days, covering a range of procurement and contract management topics, including a specialised course for SES, equipping attendees with valuable skills and knowledge that can be immediately apply in their work.
Key learnings
- How to plan and conduct procurement from phase 1 to 3 of the Procurement Lifecycle
- Key principles of contract management
- How to manage contractual requirements and supplier performance
- Common probity and integrity risks in procurement
- The broader considerations expected of SES delegates when leading procurement activities.
Participants engaged in case studies and scenario-based simulations and praised the practical applications and facilitator expertise.
The success of these sessions underscores our commitment to providing high-quality procurement and contract management training across the APS.
