Overcome common procurement challenges with accessible, powerful, easy to use tools - video 3 - reducing uncertainty and building confidence

Alun’s Sourcing Spotlight: How to overcome common procurement challenges with advanced sourcing technology - Fear of the Unknown Fear of the unknown is one of the biggest barriers to progress in procurement.

Procurement Tips - video 5: how to balance cost and value with weighted sourcing events

Alun’s Sourcing Spotlight: How to overcome common procurement challenges with advanced sourcing technology The lowest price does not always deliver the best outcome. In episode five, Alun Rafique talks about the importance of weighted events in sourcing and why procurement teams need to balance cost with quality, service, risk and other critical criteria. Focusing on price alone can lead to short-term wins and long-term problems. Weighted events give procurement teams a more rounded, defensible way to evaluate suppliers and select partners that deliver real value to the business. Watch episode five below.

Overcome common procurement challenges with accessible, powerful, easy to use tools - video 2 - winning the adoption battle

Alun’s Sourcing Spotlight: How to overcome common procurement challenges with advanced sourcing technology - Adoption of Tools Technology only delivers value if people actually use it. In episode two, Alun Rafique MCIPS CEng, MIMechE talks about one of the biggest challenges in procurement transformation: adoption. Too often, tools are rolled out but fail to stick because they do not fit how procurement teams and suppliers really work. When sourcing technology is intuitive and clearly aligned to real procurement needs, adoption becomes a natural outcome rather than a change management battle. Watch episode two below.

Procurement Tip - video 4: how to recognise the true value of multi-stage RFQ's

Alun’s Sourcing Spotlight: How to overcome common procurement challenges with advanced sourcing technology Not every sourcing decision can or should be made in a single step. In episode four, Alun Rafique MCIPS CEng, MIMechE talks about the value of multi-stage RFQs and why a phased approach gives procurement teams better control over complex sourcing exercises. When everything is forced into one event, important detail gets lost and decisions become harder to defend. Breaking sourcing into clear stages allows teams to narrow the field, focus on what really matters at each point and engage suppliers more effectively throughout the process.
