  • Procurement Say No Ep29 Unintended Consequences
    May 1 2025
    Rich and Ed do much pondering in the latest episode of Nigaragua's favourite business-based podcast - including the impact of tariffs on everything; pensioner job shares; Rachel Reeve's CV; even beavers and bees.

    We've also got lots of stats on just how well PSN is doing; news about Europe's continuning love affair with Russian gas; and....yes....news from CIPS...who are so hot they're on fire (not literally).

    All this and an extended "Ask Rich & Ed" where you will find answers to these tricky questions (which now have bullet points because they are so professional):
    • Is everything negotiable - even death and taxes?
    • What strategy should everyone else in the world use to deal with President Trump and his love of tariffs?
    • How to get the best deal on a holiday (well, summer's coming in the Northern hemisphere!).
    • How to negotiate with new and used car salespeople.
    • ...and how best to get your kitchen refurbished...
    Yes, Rich and Ed are now offering consumer advice and it's still all as cheap as crisps.

    And don't forget - you can a lovely "Procurement Says No" T-shirt at all the best Ebay platforms.

  • Procurement Says No Ep28 Zipped Up
    Apr 1 2025
    Rich and Ed said they'd never do politics but have a load of political news about the possible impact of US tariffs and looming recession (d'oh); a lack of news on the UK Public Procurement Act (which we'll take as good news); dull news about UK National Procurement Policy Statement; and finally some news from CIPS (yippee).

    And we have a special guest star from Zip - who we've been stalking for over a year and finally got to meet at ProcureCon in Vegas - Joe Piazza - who explains intake and orchestration, the lowest common denominator and how to make it easy to buy stuff!

    Plus a load of questions for Ask Rich & Ed - including what to do when you interview a candidate who is clearly better than you; whether rebates are ever a good thing; what to do if your procurement department is being taken over; the old centralisation vs decentralisation thing again; and what exactly is the span of responsibility for procurement folk?

  • Procurement Says No Ep27 Leaving Las Vegas
    Mar 5 2025
    Rich and Ed are in their final day at ProcureCon Las Vegas - and have now put everything on red and lost it all. But luckily we ran in Subu Rao from Discover Dollar who not only gave a great explanation of how AI can help procurement find those missing dollars, but he also subbed us 10 bucks to put on black.

    And we talk to Cheron Lessmeister from CIPS Americas who is tasked with developing the CIPS offering for the American market - from Canada through the US, the Caribbean and right down to Chile and Argentina! And it turns out that all British Procurement people have NOT had personal training from the Royal Family, despite their MCIPS Chartered status.
