Procurement Negotiation

Rutgers treats procurement negotiation as a process extending beyond the meeting itself. Planning precedes the negotiation, with post-negotiation work in a separate module. The supplier context makes this a focused choice for learners interested in purchasing and supply relationships.

What you will learn

• Prepare a procurement-negotiation plan.
• Follow the stages of a supplier negotiation.
• Identify work needed after terms have been discussed.

Who this suits

Beginners exploring procurement negotiations. The provider does not specify detailed prerequisites.

Before you enroll

A negotiated price is only one part of a purchasing decision. Consider delivery, quality and follow-up in the examples, and avoid treating a signed agreement as the end of the workflow.
