Founded in 2010, Minerva Procurement Consultancy Services Limited provides expert support to schools, academies, and Multi-Academy Trusts on complex procurement regulations. With the introduction of legislation like The Procurement Act 2023, staying informed and compliant is critical to their consultancy model.
Minerva Procurement Consultancy Services Limited’s goal in attending Achilles training was to strengthen their understanding of current procurement legislation and ensure client compliance. Courses completed include:
- Introduction to Regulated Procurement
- Frameworks and Dynamic Markets
- Negotiating in the Public Sector
- Regulated Procurement Academy (six-module programme)
Training Value and Delivery
The training was well-structured and adaptable. A standout example was a tailored session on The Procurement Act 2023, where the trainer adjusted content on the spot to meet specific needs. Other sessions, such as those on Contract Notices, helped boost the team’s confidence in applying knowledge practically.
Impact of Training
Minerva Procurement Consultancy Services Limited has seen tangible benefits:
- Improved compliance: Better equipped to guide clients through new regulations
