One-Day Practical Training Programme for Procurement Officers, TEC Members, Accountants, and Public Sector Managers
Master the Principles and Techniques of Professional Bid Evaluation
Bid Evaluation is one of the most critical stages of the public procurement process. A fair, transparent, and well-documented evaluation process ensures that government institutions obtain the best value for public funds while maintaining compliance with Government Procurement Guidelines.
Many procurement-related audit observations arise due to weaknesses in bid evaluation procedures, inadequate documentation, inconsistent scoring, and non-compliance with procurement requirements. This practical training programme is designed to help public sector officers develop the skills needed to conduct professional bid evaluations and prepare defensible evaluation reports.
