Procurement Planning and Risk Management

Overview

The procurement plan is used to detail the scope and objectives of the RFx. It results in a detailed workbook with the structures and methodology pertaining to the RFx and serves as the foundation guide that informs and supports the governance and contract management of the resultant contract in a Local Government context.

In this revised one-day course we will revisit the key components of a procurement plan in a Local Government context and undertake activities that will assist in the understanding and application of key procurement principles and planning concepts.

A key part of successful procurement planning is to manage risk. This starts with understanding what may impact the critical success factors of the intended RFx and implement a plan to reduce and/or mitigate them. Learners will be able to better identify and plot RFx risk to implement appropriate controls and mitigations.

This course is intended to assist learners with understanding the concepts and considerations of high risk, complex or potentially contentious procurements and prepare documentation accordingly. This course acts as the pre-cursor to any specification writing to assist the planning and governance of the RFx.
