Procurement in the New Normal

Procurement is so important to organisations and it has been severely impacted by COVID-19. This has put procurement into the forefront of many organisations.  Too many costly mistakes have been made by those who have ignored the basis of modern procurement. Urgent demand for PPE as well as other vital supplies has sometimes even left governments struggling. We have to grasp the opportunity, making the most of it ensuring there is a sustainable legacy from it. We know the importance of procurement and supply chain, but it is not always recognised throughout the rest of the organisation.

The success of organisation not only depends on what we do, but also how we manage our suppliers and contractors.  Excellent Purchasing Management is a prerequisite in this dynamic environment.  In the long term, the pandemic has illustrated the importance of good procurement and commercial teams. In these changing times we need to be rigorous with how we operate using better supplier relations including a new era of collaboration in procurement. The coronavirus outbreak will fundamentally change the way we do business in procurement management.  A more cooperative environment for procurement and supply chain professionals may well be one of the long-term key impacts of COVID-19.

Today’s procurement professional needs to understand best practice as well as being aware of the threats that may face the organisation.  Procurement can be a high-risk activity and recent experience has thrown up many examples of procurement fiascos.

The progression of the disease and the rising number of new variants means that we will have to learn how to live with this situation for a while yet.

This AZTech training course addresses these issues in order to continuously improve our procurement operations. In the face of a major global crisis such as the spread of coronavirus, now is the time to step rethink how to be protecting supply chains as much as possible from the adverse impacts.
