What World-Class Procurement Really Looks Like in 2026 | Own the Build Live Panel

This is Own the Build Live, recorded in front of a packed audience in October 2025. For the first time, we brought the podcast off the screen and into the room to tackle one of the most important, and most broken, parts of the construction industry: procurement. Paul is joined live on stage by a formidable panel: Sarah Fox – Legal Consultant Mike Wharton – Complete Roofing Systems Kelvin Maye – Group Commercial Director, Guildmore Chris Barber – Co-Founder, C-Link Together, they take a hard look at what world-class procurement should actually look like in 2026. What you’ll hear in this episode: Why risk dumping, poor contracts and late engagement are still killing projects How broken tender processes keep repeating and who’s responsible Where the industry is improving (two-stage tenders, fairer scoring, better leadership) Why cheapest price still dominates and how to push back Whether digital tools and AI can genuinely fix procurement inefficiencies Why trust, relationships and empathy still matter more than process The second half opens up to a live audience Q&A, with honest questions, strong opinions, and real-world answers from people living this every day. No fluff. No buzzwords. Just candid discussion about what needs to change and how. 👇 Watch the full Own the Build Live episode now 📌 Subscribe for weekly conversations shaping the future of construction 🔗 Check the link below to download Paul’s free ebook: Mastering Construction Procurement Strategies for Supply Chain Integration, Tendering, and Commercial Success For our list of other eBooks on building your QS Career and AI, click here - Free eBook Downloads. https://get.c-link.com/otb-sign-up Want to connect with Paul?
