Procurement Risk, Bonds and Insurance for Supply Contracts
When large supply and works contracts fail, the difference between recovery and loss often comes down to the bonds, guarantees and insurance the buyer secured up front. This course helps African procurement teams identify contract risk and select the right performance bonds, advance payment guarantees and insurance cover to protect the organisation. Delegates learn to specify, verify and call on these instruments with confidence.
