Overview
The AWARD® User course is taught using a ‘hands-on’ approach, with interactive classroom teaching supported by exercises using the AWARD® software running on laptops.
It has been designed to be delivered in two distinct parts, relating to different points in the procurement life-cycle.
The course is offered to project team members, delivered on-site for up to 10 attendees.
Part 1
Teaches how AWARD® can be most effectively used to support supplier selection activities by covering all the key concepts of AWARD®.
It gives attendees the knowledge they need to be able to make decisions about how to best deploy AWARD®, ensuring that the procurement process runs smoothly and makes full use of its capabilities.
Part 1 is ideally delivered at the beginning of the planning stage in order that the attendees have full awareness of AWARD® functionality before making key decisions about how they will exchange information with bidders and undertake their evaluation.
Part 2
Expands on the concepts covered in Part 1 to cover the various day-to-day tasks required to manage supplier selection activities in AWARD®.
This knowledge will enable attendees to be able to manage and administer the AWARD® system whilst it is being using by the wider team.
Part 2 addresses the phase after the planning stage – just before the actual supplier selection activities start. This ensures that attendees are able to administer AWARD® before it is used in a live environment.
