Training - Contract Management
Let’s be frank – contract management isn’t the most exciting aspect of procurement. After all, who likes paperwork and minutia? Most people don’t. For those in the earlier stage of their career understanding legal jargon can be daunting and negotiating the contract with the supplier, harder still. More experienced professionals might not have even been taught this core skill properly and, with a desire to focus on more exciting activities, try to steer clear of contracts whenever possible.
Robust contracts are a key tool to manage your suppliers and minimise risk. So, like them or loathe them, you need to be good at them. Following some simple steps and with a bit of practice, I’ll show you that contract management isn’t nearly as arduous as you might think.
If you’re a Head of Procurement or Procurement Director you might have different needs. Perhaps you’re unhappy with the low level of spend under contract, the poor accessibility of contracts or that the full contract value isn’t derived. As a Procurement Director I’ve had this challenge myself and have some god ideas of how to help you.

*Given the powerful nature of this course I find clients prefer to give anonymous feedback and so I must respect their desire for confidentiality
Course Prospectus
The course is a fun and highly interactive day blending theory, many examples and two case studies. It’s usually followed up with two further sessions – one to apply the techniques to your portfolio and the second, several weeks later, to ensure the skills are embedded in your DNA and your business.
Course Level
I tailor the training specifically to you and your team catering from junior procurement experts to senior sourcing managers. It's not usual for Category Directors and Heads of Procurement to join too.
Sectors covered
The techniques covered work across direct and indirect spend. I tailor the course material and case studies specifically to your portfolio

Trainer
Frost, Procurement Adventurer :)
Location
Typically, clients like to host the training on their own site. I get asked to train all round the World and I'll head to where you'd like to be. From time-to-time I run a course open people from non-competing businesses in a fixed location
Cost
The cost will vary depending on a number of factors such as the number of delegates, the number and complexity of categories to address and the follow up involvement you would like. I will quote against your specific requirements.
