Two-day training: Procurement in 10 days

Been working for months to prepare an (European) tender? That can be much faster! In this training you will learn how to independently manage a tender in just 10 days using our proven method – faster, better, and with less risk of irregularities.

Preparing an (European) tender is a complex and time-consuming process that takes an average of 6 to 9 months. As an procurement professional, you waste a lot of time preparing. You have to deal with various stakeholders and it is not always clear who makes the decisions.

Bidding processes are frequently launched under high pressure, with incomplete specifications and insufficient involvement of stakeholders. The result? Long lead times, unnecessarily high costs, errors due to haste, and an unclear decision-making process.

It can be done differently! At Supply Value, we have proven that tenders can be faster and better. By reshaping three crucial elements of the process, we shorten the lead time to just 10 days.

In this training you will be trained to be a process facilitator for the ‘Procurement in 10 days’ method. After the training, you will be able to successfully guide a Procurement in 10 days project yourself.

“This is the way to conduct a tender. Not only in terms of speed, but also in terms of quality, it doesn’t get any better!” – Senior Procurement Manager at HIS

Services FAQ

Questions about our services.

Consulting is advice and implementation together with your team; interim management is an experienced professional who temporarily takes on the role; outsourcing is a whole process that Supply Value implements for you on a structural basis, with fixed agreements. If you’re not sure what’s right for you, in a free and no-obligation 30-minute consultation we’ll look at what would best suit you.

After an initial meeting, we together determine the form that best suits your needs: advice, interim management, or outsourcing. Our consultants align themselves with your team and work alongside you, not above you or around you. As soon as the assignment is completed, we always leave something better behind than we found.

Supply Value works with both the public sector (healthcare, government, mobility & logistics) and the private sector (retail, manufacturing/high-tech, energy), with specific expertise in procurement, supply chain & operations, digital transformation, change management, performance management and sustainability. Clients such as NS, ProRail, Alliander and the municipality of Amsterdam have already chosen you.

At Supply Value, you always speak directly with the consultant who is doing the work, not with an account manager or a junior staff member in between. Those short lines mean quick decisions, no delays due to internal coordination, and a personal point of contact throughout the entire process. This keeps the focus on your question rather than on internal processes.

Are you unsure between advisory services, interim management or outsourcing? In a short and no-obligation conversation, we look at your problem, the urgency and the desired result together, and advise on the best form to suit. There is no obligation; the goal is for you to then know which route is the logical one.
