Even the most experienced teams can make avoidable procurement mistakes — from unclear evaluation criteria to rushed RFP documents and inconsistent debriefing. These errors can cause delays, vendor protests, or even damage an organization’s credibility. That’s where procurement training comes in.

At Robinson Global Management (RGM), we believe that training isn’t just about compliance — it’s about confidence. Through structured learning, teams gain the knowledge and tools to make better, defensible decisions.

Here are a few common procurement mistakes we help teams avoid:

• Vague evaluation criteria that leave room for bias or inconsistency.

• Poorly written RFPs that confuse vendors or limit competition.

• Inconsistent scoring and documentation that fail audit or review tests.

• Unclear debriefings that frustrate vendors and erode trust.

Through hands-on workshops and practical examples, RGM’s training programs teach teams how to apply fairness, transparency, and accountability across every stage of procurement.

When procurement teams are well-trained, they don’t just follow the process they strengthen it.
