Gemma’s Procurement Blog

I recently started by career in public sector Procurement, working across several teams at Essex County Council over the last 2 and a bit years. I am a very curious person, and love learning about the knowledge that underpins how we procure, and the future of this discipline, so I have decided to create a blog to collate and organise my ideas on key topics

The main focuses of this site will be:

  1. Essays drafted on various topics from CIPS learning objectives
  2. Exploring contemporary developments in the Procurement industry, like the implications of AI, the new Procurement Act, and geopolitical changes
  3. Learnings, reflections and upskilling
