| Description: |
This One Day Bespoke Course is mandatory for new
and replacement LVP/GPC Managers and Deputies. It starts with an introduction to
Contract Law and MOD Commercial Policy on correct and responsible behaviour in
procurement. It then defines Low Value Purchasing and its benefits, the
appropriate MOD Policy on correct procedure and the consequences of malpractice.
The process of delegation is explained along with corresponding roles and
responsibilities. All relevant business forms are introduced, with the
appropriate contact points. The external ordering and payment process is
explained along with the necessary internal audit trail procedure.
Delegates are strongly encouraged to take written notes during the course. The
course concludes with a mandatory 30 minute multiple choice based test. The test
requires a score of 80% and above to achieve a successful pass. On passing the
test, the successful delegate is then presented with a LVP GPC reference
Handbook Guide and Certificate of attendance/achievement. For those who are not
successful on the first attempt, an immediate re-sit is available in class.
Students who do not pass the test and do not pass the re-sit, or who decline to
take the re-sit, will not receive a certificate of attendance/achievement and
will be expected to notify their Line Manager and/or Mentor to discuss
re-attending another LVP Managers Course at a later date.
