Procurement Training
Intend Business Development presenters have more than 25 years experience as buyers and suppliers in procurement training
Our training programmes draw on this knowledge to provide professional, practical solutions for tendering in public and commercial markets.
Many of our most successful relationships with clients have been built as a direct result of their attendance at one of our training sessions. We offer:
- in-company training
- subsidised training and consultancy via a range of regional business support organisations
the training gave us a better understanding of how the procurement process works and increased confidence - thanks to the structuring and presentation tips - in completing tender applications - Holmes Millar
Check our Events Calendar for upcoming training workshops or contact us to discuss an in-company programme for your team.
Company Training
Often the quickest and most cost effective way of ensuring staff are best prepared for responding to bids and opportunities is through customised training. If you have a number of people that could benefit from specific procurement training then we can work with you to establish their current abilities and tailor the sessions to address any skills gaps. We bring years of industry knowledge and relevant practical exercises to the sessions to ensure that the skills gained are clearly reinforced.
