This course will help participants to develop well structured tender specification documents and treat these documets and the evaluation criteria as integrated rather than discrete elements. Partipicipants will understand how to develop documentation  that  will  enable  you  to  make  an  informed  decision  when  awarding  your  contract.  The course promotes the concept of life cycle costing – buying, using and end-of-life and the linkage back to the development of the original business case (where one was required).

• Understand the Procurement Cycle from identification of need through to successful contract delivery and post contract review

• Learn the relationship between the tender documents and the award decision
• Have drafted your own outline specification  
• Have learnt how to develop a suitability / capability assessment which can be used with the tender specification
• Be able to prepare an award criteria, looking at the balance between price and quality
