Program Curriculum
Course Structure
- Public procurement is therefore no longer a simple routine clerical function conducted within an isolated department of a ministry.
- Todays procurement professionals have to deal with increasingly dynamic markets and rapidly evolving technologies, purchasing tools and techniques. In addition to traditional regulatory obligations, procurement practitioners also have to demonstrate their governments adherence to international agreements in human rights, labour and the environment, and mitigation of corruption.
- Reconciling the tension between sustainability objectives and the framework of international trade agreements, while respecting the broader obligations of best value for money, transparency and accountability, requires an array of new competences in procurement.
- This programme carefully interweaves all these knowledge areas and corresponding application skills throughout the procurement process for goods, works and services.
