“Barattson School of Business & Finance” is launching a training course on



INTERNATIONAL PROCUREMENT MANAGEMENT



to be held during 13-17 October 2014 in Baku, Azerbaijan

​











One of the most remarkable developments in modern societies in the past few decades has been the transformation of the traditional governing mechanisms and the advancement of new arrangements of governance, including accountability for performance, creation of transparent and efficient public procurement systems and nation-wide approach to management of national projects and programs. Almost every organization, whether commercial or governmental, engaged in the procurement is often confronted with inefficiency, cost overruns and time delays due to lack of trained personnel competent in discharging the wide range of skills needed for effective procurement management in accordance with the guidelines and procedures of the funding agencies.





This one-week interactive workshop has been designed to improve both the effectiveness and professionalism of procurement management across the public sector. This course explores the three core areas of procurement management: a) International procurement and legal frameworks; b) Procurement management of goods and services; and c) Tools and techniques for effective contract management. More importantly, it gives practical examples of the various ways in which procurement contracts can be managed, including styles appropriate for different types of transactions, relationships, delays, default termination, damages or liquidated damages.

OBJECTIVES



Course participants will be able to competently plan and carry out procurement management functions in line with internationally accepted principles and practices in general and of the World Bank guidelines and procedures in particular. This will lead to a greater effectiveness and efficiency of procurement operations.





PARTICIPANTS

The course is also highly relevant to government procurement officials that need to manage contracts better and understand the key role they play in ensuring value for money for the public sector. The course will also make it easier for large sized firms to bid and include tougher rules on subcontracting.

The course is conducted using a highly participative training delivery methodology through a combination of interactive presentations by subject-matter specialist followed by self-assessment exercises, individual and group assignments intended to facilitate the practical application of IFIs’guidelines.
