Course Overview

Procurement looks different in a hospital, a manufacturer, and a charity. This module covers the external context — public/private/third sectors, economic and political forces, PEST and STEEPLED scanning — and how those forces shape day-to-day procurement decisions. Plus the documentation and policies that govern the function.

What you will learn

  • Differentiate the procurement function in private, public, and third-sector organizations
  • Apply PEST and STEEPLED scanning to a real sourcing decision
  • Choose the right pricing arrangement (fixed, cost-plus, indexed, incentivized) for a given contract
  • Identify the documentation, delegated authority, and corporate governance rules that constrain procurement choices
