Training: From Best Value Procurement (BVP) to Best Value Approach (BVA)

16, 21 and 23/09/2021 | Training | Best Value Approach (BVA), Innovative Procurement Practises – (English)

On site and online training!

In today’s procurement landscape, the ‘Best Value Approach’ (BVA) is about shifting the focus from price to Total Cost of Ownership in order to eventually focus on ‘value’ as the central concept. BVA is a supplier-oriented model that prioritizes the supplier as the expert. It aims on the identification and the optimal use of his/her expertise. By doing so, you will maximize value and reduce costs by up to 30%.

BVA is a method to improve the efficiency of procurement-, risk- and project- or contract management. The new approach is in sharp contrast with the traditional way of procurement, project management and contracting, which is characterized by control.

The BVA approach performs at its best if the philosophy of its creator and inspirer, Prof. Dr. Dean Kashiwagi, is implemented in a consistent way. Recently, we have noticed that an increasing number of hybrid forms have emerged that negate the essence of the BVA and cause the results to be far from optimal.
