Do you buy goods and services on behalf of the government?
This Queensland Government purchasing (level 2) course addresses intermediate skills for procurement in the Queensland Public Sector.
You'll learn how to:
- understand and apply the strategic sourcing cycle, procurement planning and value for money principles for low-medium value, low risk activities
- develop and implement procurement plans aligned with Queensland Government legislation and policy
- draft specifications, manage sourcing processes, and oversee supplier selection and basic contract management
- conduct risk assessments, apply total-cost-of-ownership concepts, and operate within delegation limits, escalating issues as needed.
Upon completion, you will be able to apply the concept of procurement to the Queensland Government context and follow standard ordering, receipting and payment processes on behalf of their agency.
UQ Skills delivers this training in partnership with AcademyGlobal, a leading provider of corporate and government training.
