Procurement and MaterialsProcurement Compliance
Procurement carries concentrated corruption and compliance risk, and public sector procurement carries it with statutory consequences. This course covers the compliance discipline. Delegates work through the regulatory framework applicable to public and private procurement, competitive process requirements, conflict of interest and declaration, supplier due diligence and sanctions screening, and the record keeping that allows a decision to be defended years later. Anti bribery obligations are covered along with the specific pressure points where they are tested, and the course addresses the practical handling of a procurement that must be expedited without abandoning control.
