  • All of the Procurement News - Procurement Says No Ep43
    May 11 2026
    Procurement Says No is now sponsored by Kodiak Hub - The SRM suite that makes you smarter. Not with a shirt and tie or fancy blouse; no - smarter as in intelligent.

    In episode 43 Rich and Ed have so much procurement based news, we have become a news channel for procurement professionals. It's basically all of the procurement news, including:
    • AI automation surges;
    • CIPS pulse survey excitement;
    • The challenge to the “most financially significant procurement process in UK history”;
    • Proxima's incredible procurement themes for 2026 (you'll be amazed);
    • EU public procurement to be simplified shock;
    • Not one, but two book reviews;
    • And Kodiak Hub's CRO names many different species of bear
    It's all so exciting you'll be massively off the pace if you miss out.

    P.S. We're using the procurement space cats image on this episode just because we like it.
