We answer a listener’s question on breaking into procurement, then unpack how frameworks speed buying while staying compliant. Along the way we share real CCS evaluation insight, social value pitfalls, and where a DPS can beat a framework.

• translating a law degree into procurement advantage
• core procurement cycle from need to contract management
• interview tactics using everyday buying examples
• stakeholder triage and relationship cadence
• what framework agreements are and why they matter
• CCS evaluation panels and pass–fail social value
• pros and cons of frameworks for buyers and suppliers
• when to consider dynamic purchasing systems instead
• transparency, audit trails, and market access trade-offs

“Only a low low price of $59.99. Non-negotiable. Only... you can negotiate up.”
