There has been significant growth in partnership arrangements between public bodies and private and third sector organisations, heightened by the current public spending environment.
In addition, high profile governance failures in managing contracts by some local public bodies and feedback from those working in the public sector, point to a need to improve the skills of those who manage contracts.
This unique qualification brings together contemporary contract management theory and existing good practice in a structured way. It has a highly applied and focused approach designed to give you the knowledge, understanding and practical skills necessary for managing contracts effectively.
Who is the course aimed at?
New staff or Individuals who have specific responsibility for contract management.
Experienced staff who have had no formal structured training or who would like to update their knowledge and skills.
Staff working at various levels in all public bodies, including central government, non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs), local government, health and education
