Advanced bid committee training

Section 217(1) of The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act 108 of 1996) provides the basis for procurement and stipulates that:
"When an organ of state in the national, provincial or local sphere of government, or any other institution identified in national legislation, contracts for goods or services, it must do so in accordance with a system which is fair, equitable, transparent, competitive and cost-effective".

Why such a workshop?
Unlike many other workshops on Bid Committee Training, Profounder Intelligence's "Advance Bid Committee Training" will cut down on the theory and provide a lot of practical applications focusing on a problem solving approach that refers to the legislative prescripts.

At the end of these sessions, learners will be able to;
• Get an overview of applicable Legislation to Bid Committee process
• Know the roles and responsibilities of Committees
• Examine the constitution, functions and responsibilities of each committee
• Learn the roles of Bid Committee members in curbing fraud and mitigating risk
• Establish proper transparency theories in procurement, tendering, and purchasing
• Evaluate Bid Committees' strengths and weaknesses
• Present their entity with viable mechanisms of strengthening public sector procurement, tendering and purchasing transparency at national, provincial, and local levels of governments
• Up-dated their entity on the preferential procurement policy framework and point systems
• Examine the Standard Bid Documents and understand the Bid Specification Committee
