Procurement Service launches new eLearning module
The Procurement Service has launched a training module covering “Procurement of supplies at CERN up to 200,000 CHF” in the form of an eLearning, accessible to all users involved in the procurement process. A long version (30 minutes) and a short version (10 minutes) are now available via this link.
The objectives of this eLearning module are as follows:
- To improve users' knowledge of the Procurement Rules to facilitate the successful completion of a DAI. This will ensure their DAI is processed as quickly as possible;
- To decrease the number of single tender requests and to avoid non compliant procurement practices such as the fragmentation of requirements into smaller orders.
The eLearning module in its short version covers a range of topics, including the role of the technical officer, estimation of order amount (and the subsequent procedure to follow) and preparation and completion of the DAI form. The longer version also includes useful information about the role of the Procurement Service, determining the appropriate procurement strategy, preparation of a price enquiry and follow-up of an order. Both versions include questions to complement the training.
From 16 March 2015, before you can create your next DAI, you will be required to successfully complete the short version of the training by answering a minimum of 80% of the questions correctly in SIR.
