Development

Opetussuunnitelma on kehitetty tiiviissä yhteistyössä julkisten hankintojen asiantuntijoiden kanssa. Kestävien ja innovatiivisten julkisten hankintojen verkostomainen osaamiskeskus KEINO sekä Suomen Osto- ja Logistiikkayhdistyksen Hankintafoorumin tiimit ovat työstäneet ja kommentoineet opetussuunnitelmaa ja erityisesti syventävien julkisten hankintojen osaamistavoitteita. Metropolia on myös ollut mukana Hankinta-Suomi -yhteistyöfoorumin valmisteluryhmässä, josta opetussuunnitelmaan on ammennettu ajantasaista sisältöä.
