Portrait
In this CAS, we introduce you to the new procurement legislation (revised BöB*/revised IVöB**). You will learn what distinguishes public sector procurement from procurement in the private sector and acquire the methodological expertise to organise and plan your procurement activities. You will create tender documents with suitable evaluation criteria and practise evaluating submitted bids.
We focus in particular on sustainable procurement, which is recognised as a factor in the paradigm shift of the new procurement legislation. During the six programme modules, you will develop the knowledge required to ensure your public sector procurement activities are sustainable, legally compliant, successful and suitable to your needs.
