An Introduction to EU Procurement
Wednesday 25th April
Overview
Regulated procurement can be complexed. Understanding these complexed rules is essential in our day to day roles.
Understanding the complexities of the rules is essential in order to stay within the boundaries of procurement legislation and procurement professionals and their advisors need to be aware of these complexities.
Achilles Information Introduction to EU gives delegates an understanding of how the principles and rules must be applied.
Using exercises, case studies and slides this interactive course gives a good grounding, allows for questions to be asked throughout and will give the delegates the knowledge to feel confident in going forward.
