AISCR FLAGSHIP EXECUTIVE MASTERCLASS

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Defining Fit-for-Purpose Requirements that Improve Competition, Quality, and Contract
The quality of procurement outcomes begins with the quality of the requirement. Poor specifications, vague terms of reference, unclear bills of quantities, or restrictive requirements can undermine competition, inflate costs, create disputes, weaken contract delivery, and trigger audit findings. This course equips participants with practical skills to prepare clear, complete, neutral, and fit-for-purpose specifications, terms of reference, and bills of quantities. It supports transparency, fair competition, value for money, and better contract implementation.
