The thoughts of two CIPS award winning procurement gods who want to share our love of procurement with newbies, oldies and the procurious. Generally we'll be talking nonsense about all things procurement, with the occasional nugget of priceless insight.

  • Supplier Relationship Management with Kodiak Hub - Procurement Says No Ep44

    Supplier Relationship Management with Kodiak Hub - Procurement Says No Ep44
    Jun 1 2026
    Procurement Says No is sponsored by the power of Kodiak Hub's darker sense of sourcing humour; so we thought we better get Kodiak Hub's Chief Powerpoint Maker Sam Jenks on the podcast to tell us all about their suite of SRM tools.

    This time we ask the questions, such as:
    • What was the inspiration behind Kodiak Hub?
    • Is SRM the poor cousin to sourcing?
    • What do customers need to look for in an SRM solution
    • How easy is Kodiak Hub to implement on a scale of TikTok to SAP?
    • Does Kodiak Hub need implementation support costing $millions?
    • How many species of bear can Sam name, and what is his favourite bear character?
    • What is Einstein's second theory of relativity?
    It's rare to get those last two questions in any single podcast.

    So, everything you need to know about Kodiak Hub's angle on SRM in a carefully crafted podcast of loveliness.

    In episode 25 we just have one question - but it's a big one!

    What strategy should you adopt in negotiating on tariffs with Donald Trump?

    Not warfare, that comes later!

    All of the procurement questions, all of the time. Woohoo.
