The Procurement Transformation Zone at Procurex Ireland 2026 will explore how modernisation, innovation, and strategic reform are reshaping the way public procurement delivers impact across Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Drawing on the OECD’s roadmap for digital transformation, this zone will examine the journey from basic e-tendering to full end-to-end digital lifecycle management. Sessions will examine how procurement teams can evolve their operating models, harness technology and data to drive better decision-making, and embed more agile, transparent, and outcomes-focused approaches. The zone will explore how eForms and structured data are eliminating manual, error-prone processes, and look ahead to emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) for spend analysis and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for repetitive back-office tasks.

Delegates will gain insights into the latest developments in digital procurement, automation, and commercial capability building, alongside case studies demonstrating practical transformation in action. This zone will also address key challenges around governance, skills, and change management to help create a more effective, future-ready procurement function.
