Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

The practicals component allows learners to apply procurement concepts in realistic scenarios, including developing procurement plans, evaluating bids, and managing contracts. Hands-on exercises reinforce theoretical knowledge and build competence in executing procurement tasks for simple to moderate projects.

Practical Activities

• Practical 1: Procurement Planning Exercise — Learners work in groups to develop a procurement plan for a given project scenario, including needs analysis, specification writing, and budgeting. (4h)
• Practical 2: Bid Evaluation and Supplier Selection Simulation — Learners evaluate sample supplier bids using predefined criteria and conduct a simulated bid evaluation committee meeting to select a preferred supplier. (4h)
• Practical 3: Contract Administration and Variation Management — Learners review a sample contract, process a variation order, and complete a supplier performance report based on a case study. (4h)
• Practical 4: Integrated Procurement Case Study — Learners work through a comprehensive case study covering the entire procurement lifecycle from planning to close-out, producing key documents and presenting their findings. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
