Procurement Training & Certification Course FAQs

Procurement is the process of obtaining goods, services, or work from external sources to meet the needs of an organisation.

Supplier management is the process of effectively overseeing and coordinating relationships with suppliers or vendors to ensure the smooth flow of goods, services, or materials into an organisation.

The primary goal of procurement is to ensure that the organisation acquires the necessary resources in the right quantity, quality, time, and cost to support its operations.

Indeed, Procurement falls under the category of hard skills. It encompasses activities like sourcing, purchasing, and obtaining goods or services for an organisation. Procurement professionals need to possess expertise in various areas, including supply chain management, vendor selection, negotiation, contract management, risk assessment, and cost analysis. With our Procurement Certification training course, learners can easily develop their Procurement skills.

Absolutely, public and private sector Procurement exhibit variances. Public sector Procurement entails acquiring goods, services, or works for government organisations, adhering to regulations and ensuring transparency. Private sector Procurement focuses on obtaining goods or services for commercial organisations, driven by profitability and market factors.

Supply chain refers to the entire network involved in the flow of goods from production to consumption, aiming to optimise flow and satisfy customers. On the other hand, Procurement is the distinct process of acquiring goods or services from external suppliers. Procurement is a part of supply chain management, focusing on activities like sourcing, negotiation, and contract management. You can take more details form our Procurement course.
