The Buyer's Superstore provides a wide range of accessible best practice guidelines about current procurement topics. Each booklet covers a topical issue and can be read as a stand-alone piece, while the full collection is meant to provide a comprehensive toolkit for procurement specialists and non-specialists. Just as a superstore is constantly updating its inventory, the Buyer’s Superstore is also adding reference material and building its collection. Topics to be covered in the best practice booklets include writing comprehensive Invitation to Tenders (ITT); managing supplier relationships; data analysis and interpretation of spend; assessing opportunities and benchmarking and sourcing different categories in both private and public sectors.
In addition to detailing the processes and procedures involved in a range of procurement topics, each booklet draws on years of industry and consulting experience to provide case studies of procurement projects. These case studies describe firsthand experiences of procurement “in action” and demonstrate some of the common challenges faced by buyers as well as how successful outcomes can be generated. So whether you are a procurement professional, a business that needs procurement insight, or a new graduate or student, these short best practice guides offer an insider’s perspective on specific issues and topics that are most relevant today.
The first volume of the Buyer's Superstore offers simple steps and practical solutions to constructing public sector Invitations to Tender (ITT). The guide concludes with examples of public sector ITTs, commercial specifics and Terms and Conditions. This material will help to fast-track your requirements and transform them in to practical public sector ITTs. What this guide does not offer is a detailed description of the European Procurement rules, as there are many reliable sources already published for reference on the internet.
