Procurement has a reputation as a slow, cumbersome process. That doesn’t have to be the case: those who break the process down into short sprints with clear decision-making moments maintain speed, flexibility, and support. This is exactly what agile working has already taught the rest of your organization.
This training translates that agile thinking into the procurement practice. Our e-material provides you with a fresh legal basis beforehand; in the classroom, you work sprint by sprint on your own upcoming procurement project.
Senior procurement officers, procurement advisors and tender board members at the Dutch government, implementing organizations, municipalities, healthcare and other contracting authorities who want to procure in a flexible way without compromising on quality or legality.
Prerequisites: Experience with at least one European procurement procedure. Basic knowledge of the Public Procurement Act will be refreshed in advance with self-study materials (± 2 hours).
You are being trained by the senior procurement consultants who developed and implemented the accelerated procurement approach. They are currently guiding procurements for public clients and bringing their fresh case studies into the room.
No. The sprints structure the work before and during the procedure; the procedure itself runs entirely in accordance with the Public Procurement Act. Legality is central to every sprint, with fixed review points.
The content and approach are the same; the difference lies in the glasses. This variant is based on agile working (sprints, decision-making moments, flexibility) and thus aligns with organizations that already practice agile working. Choose the approach that best suits your organization.
