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 Valitovarainministeriön ja Kuntaliiton Hankinta-Suomi -yhteistyöfoorumin valmisteluryhmässä ja varsinaisessa toiminnassa sen strategiakauden aikana 2019-2023. Tästä yhteistyöstä on ammennettu ajantasaista sisältöä opetussuunnitelmaan.
