Procurement Says No

We've launched into the world of short videos on TikTok.   It's another thing we said we wouldn't do.

Anyway, here's the audio-only version, for those of you who really don't want to look at us.

More crap jokes...these ones are slightly worse than the previous episode.

What is procurement?

Procurement Says No - the world's best procurement podcast - gets lots of questions from our listeners all around the world.  

So we thought, let's put all of those questions into a series of mini bite-sized podcast chunks.  Like dog food.

In episode 11 you ask us how to source travel - whether using a big travel agency still makes sense; what about using AirB&B?   Also, what is "above the line" marketing and why don't your marketing team work effectively with procurement types?   The old chestnut of the best category for the biggest savings; and whether we can recommend a Procurement Podcast!

All of the procurement questions, all of the time.

In episode 9 you ask us whether to go all in on an SAP upgrade, or go "best of breed"; decentralise or centralise your organisation; and whether to make up your procurement savings because no one knows how you work them out and no one cares anyway!

Rich and Ed have another special guest - Shone Richardson - and we're talking total global turmoil and meltdown - including tariffs and their impact for US procurement; whether war with Canada is the answer (or at least stealing their timber); if an SUV is sufficient to run products across the Mexican border into the US; and if you should route all your Chinese imports via the UK with a "Made in UK" sticker.

And loads of questions from the virtual postbag - on suppliers in administration who've already taken your cash; using AI to create specifications and contract comparisons; renewing design software contracts and when to use an IT reseller.  

And lots of news, including the EU's "SAFE" financial procurement instrument for defence procurement; more on tariffs; Alchemie Network hits 5000 people; something on UK Government crime procurement we don't understand, and the new "Procurement Says No" website created from old bits of AI.

And remember to put your order in for a "Procurement Says No" t-shirt - at all good ebays.

So much excitement in 40 minutes of podcast fun.

Rich and Ed do much pondering of all sorts of unintended consequences in the latest episode of Nicaragua'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 continuing 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 buy a lovely "Procurement Says No" T-shirt at all the best Ebay platforms.
