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.

 

 

 

Objectives of the course and format

 

This course on competitive dialogue will explain the thinking behind the introduction of the process and the relevant legislation behind it.

We will a look at the approach to take without unnecessarily over complicating the process, which is often the cause of failure. Exploring each stage of the process to ensure maximum benefit in terms of acquiring knowledge and achieving the optimum outcomes.

We will also look at recent developments with regard to the approach to competitive dialogue and the other option of the negotiated procedure and the forthcoming innovation partnerships.
