Compliance, Evaluation and Contract Award

Overview

This intermediate level course provides the skills and practices required to undertake this phase of the procurement process.

Topics covered will ensure you can develop an evaluation strategy and use it to recommend the best option or review recommendations to accept a tender or quote.
This course will cover different evaluation and scoring methodologies which are suited to different types of procurement activities, and how the weighting of criteria can impact the recommendation. Also covered are different contract establishment processes, and the parameters within which negotiation can occur before entering into a contract.

This course will provide an opportunity to get hands-on experience developing your own customised selection criteria to ensure your Local Government engages the most advantageous supplier.

Vitally, the skills and knowledge provided in this unit need to be applied within the Local Government legislative, regulatory and policy environment in which they are carried out. It’s essential therefore, that you consult with your Local Government’s respective policies in conjunction with the learning material provided.
