Procurement teams are heading into 2026 facing a very different reality than they were even a few years ago.
Costs continue to rise across almost every category. Budgets may look flat on paper, but in practice, purchasing power keeps shrinking. Staffing remains tight, supplier availability is less predictable, and expectations around transparency and speed continue to grow.
At the same time, public procurement is still being asked to do more — often with fewer people, less time, and little margin for error.
This on-demand webinar from Euna Solutions® introduces a different way forward. We call it Procurement Intelligence.
It’s not about forecasting the future or chasing the latest buzzwords. It’s about using better visibility, clearer data, and practical technology to help procurement teams make more confident decisions — especially in complex or high-pressure situations.
Why Public Sector Procurement Needs a New Approach for 2026
Many public procurement teams tell us the same thing: they’re stuck in reaction mode.
Work is driven by urgency. Requests come in fast. Data lives in too many places. Decisions get made under pressure, often without the full picture. There’s very little time to step back and think strategically.
Thriving looks different.
Teams that are thriving aren’t just moving faster — they’re operating with more intention. They have visibility into their workload. They can anticipate issues before they become problems. And they’re able to align procurement decisions with broader agency goals instead of treating each request as a one-off transaction.
The difference isn’t effort. It’s clarity.
Procurement Intelligence is what makes that shift possible. It allows procurement to move beyond tactical execution and into a trusted advisory role — without adding more work to already stretched teams.
What You’ll Learn in This GovTech Webinar
This webinar is designed for public sector procurement professionals who are thinking ahead to 2026 and wondering how to operate more effectively in an increasingly constrained environment.
Throughout the session, we focus on practical, real-world takeaways — not abstract theory.
You’ll learn:
- How procurement’s role is evolving, and why more agencies are asking procurement to help guide decisions, not just manage processes
- Where procurement data actually lives today — and why data fragmentation slows teams down, especially during emergencies
- How to turn existing data into actionable insight that supports clearer conversations with leadership and internal stakeholders
- Where automation and workflow management deliver the biggest return by reducing manual work and protecting staff capacity
- How public agencies are approaching AI carefully and intentionally, with a focus on time savings and low-risk, embedded use cases
We also explore how these ideas apply in real-world situations, including disaster response scenarios where procurement teams are expected to act quickly, clearly, and under intense pressure.
Procurement Intelligence When It Matters Most: Emergency Response
Disasters and emergencies tend to expose the weaknesses in traditional, manual procurement models.
In many agencies, the information procurement needs already exists — contracts, supplier contacts, emergency purchasing authority, past response timelines — but it’s spread across emails, PDFs, shared drives, and institutional memory.
When time is limited, that data fragmentation becomes a real liability.
Procurement Intelligence from Euna Solutions helps address this by bringing data, processes, and visibility together. With centralized information, streamlined intake, and automation built into daily workflows, procurement teams are better prepared to respond quickly without losing control or transparency.
The webinar walks through realistic scenarios — like hurricane response — to show how structure and clarity can reduce confusion when urgency is unavoidable.
A Real-World Example: How Ventura County Modernized Procurement
Ventura County provides a strong example of what this looks like in practice.
Before modernizing with a dedicated procurement platform, their procurement processes were heavily paper-based. Evaluations were difficult to coordinate, collaboration was slow, and simply digitizing documents didn’t solve the underlying workflow issues.
By centralizing and standardizing procurement workflows, Ventura County reduced cycle times, improved collaboration across departments, and created more capacity to run competitive procurements throughout the year.
Those improvements became especially valuable during emergency response, when speed, transparency, and coordination directly support public safety.
The key lesson is simple: procurement systems built for clarity during normal operations become critical tools during disruption.
What You’ll Take Away From This Webinar
By the end of this webinar, you’ll walk away with a clear understanding of:
- What Procurement Intelligence actually means in practice for government agencies
- How centralized data, automation, and thoughtful AI work together in a single platform
- Why future-ready procurement focuses on strategic insight, not just process efficiency
- How your procurement team can operate with more confidence — even when resources are limited
Procurement Intelligence positions procurement as a strategic partner that can guide decisions, manage complexity, and support agency goals well into 2026 and beyond.
