While the usual legal principles of contracting apply, special rules also apply
to public entities when procuring goods and services. Particular, and often
complex, rules apply not just to contracting but also to the entire selection and
tender process that is undertaken prior to entering into a contract.
To ensure that legal and political risks to your organisation are minimised, it
is essential that staff in public entities understand both the general and specific
rules that apply to them. Procurement is becoming increasingly complex and
the implications of getting it wrong are often significant.
Your staff need
to understand what is required of government departments
and other public entities, the threshold amounts at which specific restrictions
come into play and the exceptions or exclusions that may apply.
This course offers a clear and
accessible explanation of procurement. It gives your staff the information
they need to know when further advice is needed and how to avoid common pitfalls
in procurement. The reporting functions mean that management can have comfort
that
staff are aware of their requirements and have the
tools they need to ensure your organisation complies with its obligations.
