Developments over the last two decades have made public procurement law one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving areas of law. Given the extent to which legal rules now govern the day-to-day conduct of most procurement activity, knowledge of procurement law has become vital for anyone working in public sector procurement.
This programme is open to those with a legal background and those without, and does not require a law degree. It is designed in particular for:
Applicants with alternative academic backgrounds also considered where they have relevant work experience and/or professional qualifications such as MCIPS.
Achieving this qualification demonstrates knowledge in this specialist field of public procurement regulation that is both high level and spreads across the whole field, as well as advanced skills in the law for those who have no prior legal training.
Most students are already working the field of public procurement, often in a very senior capacity, whether as lawyers (in-house or in private practice), procurement practitioners in the public/utility sectors, consultants, policymakers or (in a few cases) suppliers. For these students, the specialist knowledge and understanding of procurement law gained from the programme greatly enhances their ability to perform their roles.
