Our CIPS Advanced Diploma students recently finished studying 'Marketing in Purchasing'. One public sector student said:

I found Marketing really interesting. I found it really useful. At first I thought I ought to study the Public Sector options, but having studied Marketing, I now use it every day at work. When I start to use Marketing jargon on my suppliers their jaws drop open. I can pretty roughly analyse my suppliers costs now, and I can talk about things like segmentation and USPs. The suppliers are gobsmacked - I never thought Marketing would help me so much - I love it.'
