This Higher Diploma in Public Procurement and contract management at Ransford College could modify your skills to do greater work you will be amazed at.

Public procurement is continuing to evolve both conceptually and organizationally. That evolution accelerated during the 1990s as governments at all levels came under increasing pressures to “do more with less.” 

Indeed, all governmental entities of rich and poor countries are struggling in the face of unrelenting budget constraints; government downsizing; public demand for increased  transparency in public procurement; and greater concerns about effi ciency, fairness, and equity. 

Additionally, public procurement professionals have faced a constantly changing environment typified by rapidly emerging technologies, increasing product choice, environment concerns, and the 
complexities of international and regional trading agreements. 

Further, policy makers have increasingly used public procurement as a tool to achieve socioeconomic goals.

In this environment, public procurement has become much more complex than ever before, and public procurement officials must deal with a broad range of issues. 

In this course designed for executives and line managers especially in public sector, we expose students to techniques on how to make choices among conflicting objectives. 

If you are a personnel working in public procurement arena you need this course because you have to constantly weigh the trade-off s between conflicting procurement objectives,  such as : Quality and cost trade-offs, Timeline and cost trade-offs, plus Risk and cost trade-offs.

During the program, we shall consider balancing the dynamic tensions:

 1. Competing socioeconomic objectives

 2. National economic interests

3. Global competition as required by regional and international trade agreements 

4. Satisfying the requirements of fairness, equity, and transparency

5. Maintaining an overarching focus on maximizing competition

6. Utilizing new technology to enhance procurement efficiency, including e-procurement and purchase cards.

If, however, you imprison that potential, you rob your life of its purpose and fulfillment.  You and every other individual on this planet possess an awesome treasure. Too much of this treasure is buried every day, untapped and untouched, in the cemeteries of our world.  Much talent, skill and creativity have been lost to the world for want of a little courage. Many obscure men and women enter eternity pregnant with potential, with a still-born purpose. Living with ability brings responsibility. Dying with ability reveals irresponsibility.
