Procurement Processes for Procurement & Solicitation Roles
- Learning & System Guidance Curriculum
Tight timelines, complex rules, and limited staff resources can make it difficult for agencies to plan and execute procurements in ways that maximize the likelihood of positive outcomes for clients or innovations that increase value for taxpayers. Extra assistance on procurement can help agencies focus attention on and elevate the most important factors for improving the results of RFPs and the resulting contracts. - Processing & Action Repository
Get the Forms and Templates you need to get the job done. For instance, the OSP Request for Proposal (RFP) Template and Conflict of Interest Form. - All Curriculums begin with Pre-Requisite PROC 101 | Rhode Island Division of Purchases (ri.gov)
