We spoke with Barry Phelps, Chief Procurement Officer at Haringey Council, regarding the exciting changes within the Procurement function at the council and how AI will support the industry in the future.
“In terms of emerging trends, there’s the Procurement Act which businesses are getting ready for.
Social value, and what I mean by that is economic and environmental initiatives, that’s obviously high on everyone’s agenda.
For me, it’s also exploring technology with the use of AI & machine learning and how that can shape the Procurement functions going forward.”
