Unlocking Procurement Evolution: How Caerphilly Council evolved procurement to award winning recognition

The Procurement team at Caerphilly County Borough Council have evolved from a basic, supporting function into a strategically critical pillar, delivering continuous, noteworthy successes.​

Join us for an exclusive webinar where Ilija Ugrinic, Proactis' Senior VP, Strategy & Marketing will be joined by Elizabeth Lucas, Caerphilly County Borough Councils Director of Transformation, Digital and Procurement, as she shares the real story behind their evolutionary, continuous journey — from humble beginnings to industry recognition and the critical role of automation and partnership throughout that journey.

In this practical session, you'll hear how Liz built capability step-by-step, leading the procurement team to become a catalyst for:

Greater control, placing Procurement as a key stakeholder within automated processes, aligned to a talented, clearly directed team​

Stronger supplier performance and resilience through a true partnership approach with the supply chain​

Operationally efficient processes that enabled procurement capacity to drive pioneering initiatives and strategic outcomes​

Sustainable, long term value creation aligned to the wider council objectives, including strategies around SME's and Social Value​

Liz will also talk candidly about some of the challenges encountered, the strategic decisions that unlocked momentum, and the measurable milestones that signalled procurement was truly moving from operational support to strategic leadership within the council.​
