Hugh James Procurement Training Series

About the training

In the context of the upcoming procurement reform and to get you ready for the implementation of the UK Procurement Act, we have worked with Hugh James, one of our commercial member partners, to create a series of 6 training sessions that will prepare you for this transition by bringing you up to speed on how to run competitive procedures, below threshold and light touch procedures and management of public contracts. We will also discuss frameworks and dynamic purchasing systems and excluding bidders and debarment.

There are two booking options:

• Book on to all 6 sessions and get a 10% discount
• Make individual bookings for one or more of the sessions (£65 each for members and £95 each for non-members)
