Scope and Influence of Procurement and Supply (L4M1)

We strongly recommend that you start this qualification at this module.

Module Purpose

On completion of this module, learners will be able to identify the key stakeholders through the application of the sourcing process, the analysis of the procurement cycle and the evaluation of the influence procurement and supply has as a source of added value for the organisation.

Module aim(s)

In any organisation, a significant proportion of costs are accounted for by the purchases of products and/or services, hence organisations see procurement and supply as a key contributor to their value-added strategies. Equally, any organisation will also be managing the supply of products and/or services to their customers, be they internal or those from other external organisations, consumers or the general public. This module is designed using the CIPS Procurement Cycle as its basis. It will provide those who are interested in developing an informed awareness of different perspectives or approaches within the discipline with an overview of the key stages and compliance requirements associated with procurement and supply. It will serve as an introduction for those who are expected to address complex well-defined procurement and supply problems that are non-routine in nature.
