AI for Procurement Syllabus
Eight practical modules across 24 guided hours. Exercises and project review are included; two follow-up clinics take place separately. Ask for a suitable session plan for classroom, online, private or company learning.
1. AI for Procurement: Useful Tasks, Data and Risk (2 hours)
Understand where generative AI, rules, analytics and agents are useful. Choose tasks by value, frequency, data readiness and checking effort. Set clear boundaries for supplier, company and personal information.
2. Use AI for Spend Analysis and Category Research (4 hours)
Clean descriptions and supplier names, review units and currencies, and group sample purchases. Use AI to support classification and category research, then reconcile totals and inspect uncertain results.
3. Research and Compare Suppliers with AI (3 hours)
Define requirements, match supplier identities and gather dated source information. Separate evidence from claims, record missing details and prepare clarification questions. Relevant company or supplier-registration checks remain part of the review.
4. Prepare RFQs and Check Supplier Bids (4 hours)
Prepare a request for quotation (RFQ) from agreed requirements. Extract supplier responses, compare like-for-like scope and costs, and keep mandatory requirements separate from scored criteria. Review exclusions and unanswered questions.
5. Review Procurement Contracts and Obligations (3 hours)
Find relevant clauses, obligations, exclusions, renewal dates and service commitments. Compare document versions and record issues for the responsible reviewer. AI supports the review; legal interpretation stays with qualified advisers.
6. Prepare Negotiations and Procurement Reports (3 hours)
Build a factual negotiation brief with questions, constraints and options. Distinguish facts from assumptions. Draft clear supplier communication and sourcing recommendations using checked findings.
7. Design a Procurement Workflow with Human Approval (2 hours)
Map a repeatable process from request and source documents through AI-assisted work, checks, exceptions and approval. Follow a guided workflow demonstration and identify what should remain manual.
8. Complete a Procurement AI Project (3 hours)
Bring your analysis, supplier evidence and document work into one decision pack. Explain the recommendation, correct weak reasoning through feedback and prepare a practical 30-day application plan.
AI Tools Used in the Course
Excel and Power Query support data preparation and checked calculations. An approved AI environment helps with research, document work and drafting. The focus is the procurement task and the quality of the result.

AI for Procurement Course FAQs
What will I learn in an AI for Procurement course?
You learn to use AI for spend analysis, supplier research, RFQs, bid comparisons and procurement documents. The course combines guided practice with checking methods and a reviewed project, so you can explain the evidence behind a sourcing recommendation.
Do I need coding experience?
No. The core course is for procurement professionals, not software developers. Basic spreadsheet and procurement familiarity helps. You work with prepared files and guided exercises. Advanced agent development or systems integration can be discussed separately.
How long is the AI for Procurement course?
The full course includes 24 guided hours, including exercises and project review. Two additional follow-up clinics are included. Ask about six four-hour sessions, eight three-hour sessions or another suitable private, classroom or company schedule.
Which AI tools will I practise?
Core practice uses Excel, Power Query, procurement documents and an approved GenAI environment. Suitable alternatives and one bounded workflow can be demonstrated. Company programmes can reflect your approved tools and processes. We confirm practical arrangements before training.
Can I upload supplier quotations or company contracts to an AI tool?
Not automatically. Check confidentiality, personal information, permissions, contractual safeguards and your organisation’s approved environment before uploading. Standard training uses prepared or sanitised material. The course teaches a review-before-upload approach rather than treating a public AI tool as the default destination.
Can AI select a supplier or approve a purchase?
AI can help organise information, compare evidence and prepare a draft recommendation. Authorised people retain procurement decisions and approvals. You learn to check requirements, missing information, costs and assumptions before the work is used.
Does the course cover SAP Ariba, Coupa or other procurement systems?
The core course teaches procurement tasks and portable methods. A company programme can reflect your ERP or procurement environment through an agreed scope. Full platform administration, vendor certification and live production integrations are separate from the standard course.
Is Arabic or bilingual training available in Oman?
Yes. English, Arabic and bilingual delivery are available through agreed classroom, live-online, private and corporate formats across Oman. Exercises can include bilingual procurement documents with checks for meaning, figures and supplier details.
Can EduDelphi train our procurement team onsite?
Yes. We can arrange private onsite, classroom or live-online programmes nationwide. Training can reflect your buying process, approved tools, roles and suitable sanitised examples, with practical exercises, reviewed outputs and follow-up.
How is this different from AI for Supply Chain?
AI for Procurement focuses on spend, sourcing, supplier evidence, bids, contracts and negotiation preparation. AI for Supply Chain focuses on demand, inventory, planning and logistics. A combined company programme can cover both while keeping the practical tasks distinct.
What resources, support and certificate are included?
The package includes five connected resource packs, editable practice files, checked solutions, LMS, recordings, project feedback, direct learning support and two follow-up clinics. Learners receive an EduDelphi / Delphi AI Academy completion certificate after meeting the course requirements. Access arrangements are confirmed with the quotation.
How can I get fees and the next course schedule?
Submit an enquiry for the syllabus, current OMR fees and delivery options. Tell us whether you are learning individually or arranging team training. We will confirm the suitable format, schedule, inclusions and applicable charges before enrolment.
