Need a quick steer? Try the new microlearning suite
Sometimes you don’t need a full course, you just need a quick, practical steer you can use straight away.
That’s where the new Commonwealth Procurement and Contract Management Microlearning Suite comes in. The microlearning suite includes short, focused resources you can dip into when a task lands, a question pops up, or you want a fast refresher before a key step in your procurement or contract management activity.
The first microlearning resource is available now, with more to follow. If you’re building capability over time, you can use the microlearning suite as a quick reference, to sense-check what to do next, build confidence in the moment, and keep good practice front of mind.
It’s available to all APS staff via APSLearn – share it with your team ahead of a procurement activity or use it as a quick reset after.
Build your procurement capability, step by step
Not sure where to start with procurement or contract management training?
The Commonwealth Procurement and Contract Management Training Suite Pathway makes it easy. It lays out a clear, step-by-step sequence of courses from the Training Suite to help you build strong foundations first, then grow your skills over time, whether you’re brand new to procurement, an occasional procurer, an experienced practitioner, or an SES delegate.
Use the pathway to plan your, or your team’s, learning with confidence. It’s a practical, self-directed guide you can come back to whenever your role changes or a new procurement challenge comes up.
Visit the Training Suite webpage where you can also download a one-page printout of the pathway to keep handy.
A simple guide to the procurement lifecycle
Whether you’re new to procurement or you do it every day, our procurement lifecycle gives you a clear, end-to-end view of what good looks like across each phase.
If you’re planning or supporting a procurement, the procurement lifecycle is a practical, end-to-end guide to how Commonwealth procurement works. It moves through each phase, from identifying a need through to managing and closing a contract and highlights the key things to think about along the way. It helps you plan, spot and manage risks earlier, and support better value for money.
Visit the procurement lifecycle webpage when you need a quick steer on what to do next, or when you want to sense-check your approach during each phase of your procurement.
