Intended Audience and brief
background This course is intended for
procurement officers and members or would be members of a competitive
dialogue team or project group whatever their role may be. It will explore the benefits and
boundaries of the competitive dialogue process and also challenge the choice
of this route as a procedure. It is extremely important that the right
choices are made so to maximise the benefit of this
course, it should be attended or run prior to the decision to go with
competitive dialogue is confirmed. However it is never too late. This course can be run specifically
for teams embarking on the process or for individuals/mixed organisations that are perhaps at the exploratory stage.
It should be seen as an early important stage of the process and an element
of the team building process. |
