    • AI automation surges;
    • CIPS pulse survey excitement;
    • The challenge to the “most financially significant procurement process in UK history”;
    • Proxima's incredible procurement themes for 2026 (you'll be amazed);
    • EU public procurement to be simplified shock;
    • Not one, but two book reviews;
    • And Kodiak Hub's CRO names many different species of bear
    It's all so exciting you'll be massively off the pace if you miss out.

    P.S. We're using the procurement space cats image on this episode just because we like it.
