Why Procurement Needs a Strategic Shift and What Comes Next

ProcurePoint | Birring & Bagri Insights

In today’s fast-changing business environment, procurement can no longer be seen as a reactive, transactional function. The pressure to deliver value, manage risk, ensure compliance, and meet ESG goals means procurement must evolve and fast.

At ProcurePoint, we speak with professionals across sectors who are facing this shift daily. Procurement is no longer just about savings, it is about alignment, agility, and strategic impact.

The Landscape Has Changed – Procurement teams are under more pressure than ever to contribute to broader business goals. From supply chain disruption and geopolitical uncertainty to rising costs and net-zero targets, the old way of working no longer works.

What Strategic Procurement Looks Like

Strategic procurement means:

  • Partnering with internal stakeholders
  • Building long-term sourcing strategies
  • Strengthing supplier relationships
  • Making decisions based on insight, not instinct
  • Preparing for risk, not just reacting to it

This shift is about value, not just cost.

Why External Support Matters – In-house teams often don’t have the time, tools, or perspective to make these changes alone. That’s where external expertise helps, not just in writing tenders, but in shaping strategic procurement capability.

What to Expect from ProcurePoint – ProcurePoint is a platform for procurement professionals, business leaders, and curious thinkers. We share ideas that challenge outdated approaches and support the future of procurement.

If you’re looking to rethink how procurement creates value, you’re in the right place.
