The Osgoode Certificate in Advanced Procurement Law and Practice: Major Projects and Tendering

Faculty View Brochure PDF

This practical hands-on program has been specifically designed to help public and private sector procurement professionals manage the time pressures and business and legal risks inherent in complex tendering. It goes beyond the approach taken in the Osgoode Certificate in Public Procurement Law and Practice, and delves more deeply into the major issues, applying key strategies for successful project governance and deployment.

Classes are taught using a blended delivery method that includes lectures, group discussion, case studies and workshops.
