The thoughts of two CIPS award winning procurement gods who want to share our love of procurement with newbies, oldies and the procurious. Generally we'll be talking nonsense about all things procurement, with the occasional nugget of priceless insight.

    Another video which we said we'd never do. Except this is the audio-only version.

    They're on TikTok in full glorious video.

    Diella is the new Albanian Minister for Public Procurement and an AI bot. She's here to take your job.

  • Procurement Says No Ep34 - The Secret Buyer

    Procurement Says No Ep34 - The Secret Buyer
    Sep 22 2025
    Rich and Ed are back with more news, advice and answers to the crazy goings-on in the world of procurement.

    Including very exciting news from Renault - their new CEO is an ex-procurement person. Woohoo. News that some people will never learn - as the UK Government gives Fujitsu more contracts, worth £281m. And some reaction to US tariffs - or it was already planned, honest - as Mars invests $2bn in US manufacturing across its pet care and snacking division by the end of 2026.

    Some legal stuff where suppliers to the public sector "win" after seeking commercially sensitive information; and "win" by being reinstated after being blacklisted.

    And lots more questions from our listener around the world - including advice on buying a trench; which is best: desk research or going out to tender when looking to optimise costs; what to do when you receive reports of modern slavery in your supply chain; and some possibly dodgy behaviour from a boss who seems to be a little too close to a supplier.


    Plus a new feature "The Secret Buyer" where anonymous listeners tell us their stories of best and worst practice. One involves a confused MD who is trying but failing to help; and one a confused business owner who thinks he's an expert negotiator but unfortunately isn't. So mostly worst practice then.

    This all works in practice but will it work in theory?

    Lots more questions from Procurement Says No - the world's best procurement podcast.

    Now in a series of mini bite-sized podcast chunks. Like dog food.

    In episode 13 you ask for our thoughts on Amazon Business; how many suppliers is optimum; should you use an interim or a Big4 consultant and which consultancy is best - and should you work for one???

    All of the procurement questions, all of the time.
