The purchasing and contracting decisions schools make before opening their doors can have lasting consequences for their budgets and daily operations. For new and growing charter schools, avoiding common procurement mistakes early can prevent costly challenges down the road.
In this interactive workshop, the BuyQ team draws on its procurement experience to examine five common purchasing pitfalls through real-world micro-case studies.
In small groups, participants will analyze procurement scenarios, identify risks, and discuss how purchasing decisions affect financial sustainability and operational effectiveness. Groups will then share their findings and lessons learned, allowing attendees to learn from one another.
Gain practical insights into making more informed purchasing and contracting decisions as your school prepares to open or expand.
