Public sector procurement goes far beyond purchase orders and executing contracts, and training options need to be designed to meet the needs of Canadian public sector audiences.
From drafting RFPs to conducting market soundings and maintaining vendor relationships, today’s public sector procurement professional faces increasing complexity in their job functions. At the same time there are higher expectations of fairness and transparency, as well as increased pressure to demonstrate ‘best value’ and sustainability for public funds expended. Now more than ever it makes sense to provide staff with the updated skills, knowledge and best practices they need for effectively managing procurements and contracts in a public sector environment. The Public Sector Procurement Program (PSPP) is specifically designed to do just that.
PSPP Accredited through the CSCSC’s National Accreditation Program
The PSPP has been accredited by the Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council through its National Accreditation Program (the NAP). The accreditation was granted in October of 2011, and is effective for three years.
The NAP recognizes educational offerings in supply chain-related topics that meet the Council’s standards for accreditation, created with significant input from supply chain stakeholders. The standards are based on national and international best practices and principles, and include requirements for course/program needs assessment, design, development, delivery, and student evaluation. As an accredited program, the PSPP has shown that it meets all of those standards.
Customized Training Options to Meet Diverse Needs
PSPP courses can be easily adapted for in-house delivery to public organizations across Canada. We can schedule a course for staff at your location, or set up a session where local groups partner to host a shared training initiative.
Courses can be customized to address regional or organizational templates and nuances to ensure participants receive training that is relevant and tailored to their needs, while preserving the integrity of the competency structure of the program.
