Generative AI for procurement

After one day, let AI do the groundwork, and you’ll have time left for the work that really matters.

Generative AI for procurement is the one-day, hands-on training of the Supply Value Academy: procurement professionals learn how to safely and effectively deploy AI assistants for market analyses, procurement documents, contract review, and supplier research. The training does not require technical knowledge and is updated contentually every six months.

Why this training

Generative AI is changing the purchasing process faster than any other system: market research that used to take days is done in an hour; writing concept documents takes 80% hours. Whoever masters that wins time for work that AI cannot do—judge, negotiate, connect.

This is emphatically a do-it-yourself day. Laptop open, real procurement cases, and at the end a set of working prompts and methods for your own practice, including the rules of the game to do it safely and responsibly.

You can do this afterwards

  • You deploy AI assistants for market exploration, spend analysis identification, and supplier research, with fact-checking.
  • You let AI write the first versions of purchase documents, from needs assessment to information note.
  • You use AI for contract review: risks, deviations, and summaries in minutes.
  • You know the limits: confidentiality, AI regulation, hallucinations, and when you shouldn't use AI at all.

Target group

Buyers, contract managers and procurement advisors who want to put AI into practice, from curious beginners to skeptical senior executives. No technical background required, just a laptop.

No prior knowledge required. Experience with AI tools is not required; those who have already experimented reap additional benefits from the in-depth assignments.

Program

  • How generative AI works, just enough to use it intelligently
  • Prompts for buyers: from vague question to useful answer
  • Hands-on: market exploration and supplier research with AI, including fact checks
  • AI as a writing partner: purchase documents in half the time
  • Contract review with AI: what it finds, what it lacks
  • Working Safely: Confidential data, policy and the AI regulation in practice
  • Tip: Your personal AI workflow for the coming month

Trainer

The training is given by consultants from the Digital team at Supply Value, who implement AI applications in purchasing organizations and keep up with the developments. The examples are never older than a few months, that is a promise.

Frequently asked questions

We work with the common AI assistants and show how to apply the same approach in the tools that your organization allows. It’s about the process, not a single brand.

Yes, provided it stays within the framework, and we explicitly cover that: confidentiality, the AI regulation, and your own organization’s policies. You’ll learn what is possible, what is not, and how to explain that.
