Contracting and Procurement Training Courses from CP Training, UK

Negotiation training, contract law training, procurement training and more

Training programmes delivered by the CP Training Consortium cover most aspects of Supply Chain Management, Procurement and Purchasing, Inventory, Contract Management, Logistics, Transport and Materials Storage and Handling. Many training courses, workshops and seminars are offered as public programmes in London and elsewhere and a wide range are available for in-house delivery, tailored as bespoke training if required.

Training programmes in the Contracting and Procurement section cover the skills and competencies required for relationships with contracts and suppliers of both goods and services. Training courses and workshops address the procurement process from start to finish: the upstream aspect of identify and selecting suppliers and contractors through to the downstream requirement to make the contract perform and to identifying opportunities for supplier development and improvement.
