Public Sector Procurement and Law

A strict regulatory framework governs the purchase of goods, construction work and services by public sector clients. This CAS provides an introduction to public sector procurement. It is aimed at individuals working for public authorities and government-related organisations and at contractors and advisers involved in public sector procurement processes who want to ensure purchases are legally compliant, focused and sustainable.

If you are responsible for public sector procurement activities, this CAS is the perfect choice:

• You will be in a position to carry out public sector procurement activities independently, in a legally compliant and sustainable manner.
• You will be able to distinguish between the different procurement procedures and regulations.
• You will understand the revised legislative framework governing public sector procurement.
• You will be in a position to formulate suitable technical specifications plus selection and award criteria.
• You will be able to examine, adjust and evaluate bids and award the tender in a legally correct manner.
