Tools Used in the Course
The course teaches procurement outcomes first. Tools are selected for the job, the organisation’s environment and the required level of control.
Supplier Selection for a Multi-Site UAE Operation
A procurement team needs to compare bids for a high-value service used across Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Supplier submissions use different formats, commercial assumptions vary, and stakeholders need a clear recommendation quickly.
This is the style of practical work used in the course. The scenario is an original EduDelphi teaching case, not a claim about a live procurement exercise.
Responsible AI in Procurement
Procurement teams handle sensitive commercial, supplier and contractual information. Useful AI adoption therefore needs clear guardrails.
Protect information
Use organisation-approved tools and avoid entering confidential data into unapproved public systems.
Verify the output
Check sources, calculations, extracted terms, assumptions and supplier facts before use.
Keep human decisions
Retain human ownership for evaluation, negotiation, contracting and supplier selection.
Preserve evidence
Document inputs, review points, approvals and changes when AI contributes to a procurement workflow.
