Great Course! If you’re thinking about applying for a listing on the G-Cloud this course is the place to start before you do anything else! The course provides an excellent overview of the public sector procurement landscape and the presentations are progressively structured with a clear message behind each. I found the most useful factor was that as a supplier, the course allowed me to see the G-Cloud from the ‘eyes’ of the public sector buyer and I’m already implementing on some of the key learning. Happy to recommend.

Very useful course for suppliers to understand GCloud process from the buyers perspective. Made us think hard about how we can help buyers use the search criteria more effectively.

I can now converse confidently about G-Cloud, CCS, The Digital Market Place, Central and Local Government procurement processes.

Through understanding the buying process, I feel better equipped to support buyers throughout the procurement process and beyond.

Thank You Advice Cloud!

About our online courses

Our government procurement training courses have been designed to help buyers and suppliers make the most of public sector procurement. As buyers ourselves, we have found that the most successful suppliers on public sector frameworks are those who take the time to learn about the buying process. Similarly, for buyers, better understanding of ground-breaking procurement frameworks can lead to significant savings and increased efficiency.

Building on pre-existing face-to-face training, we have created informative and interactive lessons that will leave you feeling more confident about buying for government or selling to public sector. With over 80 years of public sector procurement we have a lot to share.
