Participants learn how to translate organizational needs into procurement requirements, develop procurement plans, prepare appropriate specifications and terms of reference, select suitable procurement methods and develop clear tender documentation. The programme gives particular attention to bid evaluation. Participants examine preliminary, technical and financial evaluation, evaluation criteria, scoring methodologies, due diligence, evaluation reports and governance of evaluation committees. Practical exercises can be incorporated using sample procurement plans, tender documents and evaluation scenarios. **Share this course:** [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fprocurement-planning-tender-management-bid-evaluation-course-programme) [Twitter](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fprocurement-planning-tender-management-bid-evaluation-course-programme&text=Procurement+Planning%2C+Tender+Management+%26+Bid+Evaluation+Course) [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fprocurement-planning-tender-management-bid-evaluation-course-programme&title=Procurement+Planning%2C+Tender+Management+%26+Bid+Evaluation+Course) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=Procurement+Planning%2C+Tender+Management+%26+Bid+Evaluation+Course%20https%3A%2F%2Ftrustgatecorporateskills.com%2Fcourses%2Fprocurement-planning-tender-management-bid-evaluation-course-programme) ## Learning Objectives - Conduct effective procurement needs assessments. - Develop comprehensive procurement plans. - Align procurement plans with organizational budgets. - Prepare clear specifications and terms of reference. - Select appropriate procurement and tendering methods. - Develop effective tender documentation. - Establish objective evaluation criteria. - Conduct technical and financial bid evaluations. - Strengthen tender evaluation governance and documentation. - Manage the transition from procurement award to contract implementation. ## Course Content ### Module 1: Procurement Needs Assessment 1.
