Procurement in 10 days

Two training days. Then you guide a European tender in ten working days, without compromising on legality.

With the Training in 10 Days Procurement Management course, procurement professionals learn in two days how to independently manage a European procurement in ten working days, using the method that Supply Value itself developed and applied to dozens of public organizations. The training is given in Zeist or at another location upon agreement, also in-house, and is intended for buyers and advisors at contracting departments. You train at the source: the trainers are the consultants who implement the method on a daily basis.

Why this training

A European procurement process doesn’t have to be a lengthy process lasting months. With careful preparation, smart standards, and clear division of roles, it can be completed in ten working days—we have proven this time and again in practice.

This training does not consist of theory about the Public Procurement Act (we provide this knowledge in advance with our e-material), but of doing: you go through the ten days step by step, with your own upcoming public procurement as a case study.

You can do this afterwards

  • You plan and manage a European tender in ten working days, from market research to the preliminary award.
  • You choose the right procedure and avoid the five mistakes that most often slow down processes.
  • You set evaluation criteria that truly make them distinctive, legally sound and understandable.
  • You involve internal stakeholders in the pace, so that the lead time is also organizationally feasible.

Target group

Senior buyers, procurement advisors and tender board members at the Dutch government, implementing organizations, municipalities, healthcare and other contracting services that want to reduce lead times 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).

Program

  • The method in a nutshell: why ten days is possible, and when it is not
  • Days 1–2 of the method: need identification and market exploration that are immediately impactful
  • Days 3–5: preparing tender documents using proven building blocks
  • Working on your own case study: your plan for the first five days
  • Information note without delay: managing questions instead of answering them
  • Evaluating and awarding: from BPKV criteria to a clearly explained award decision
  • Simulation: a full evaluation round with real registrations (anonymized)
  • Your action plan: the next tender for your own organization in ten days
