Using AI for Procurement Efficiency

Building upon July’s “Purchasing Responsible AI” event, PEN is continuing the conversation by exploring: How can AI-powered solutions help procurement teams do more with less?

From market research, RFP drafting, to internal customer support and more—AI offers myriad opportunities to streamline and strengthen complex purchasing processes. By reducing repetitive, time-consuming tasks and accelerating efficiency, governments can free up capacity to focus on strategic work to deliver more support to their communities. But, how can procurement teams start innovatively—and responsibly—harnessing this technology to reimagine how procurement work gets done in government?

Join PEN for an informative 60-minute session exploring strategies for responsibly integrating AI into procurement workflows! During this session, we’ll discuss the core themes:

  •  AI Use Guidelines: Share strategies for equipping internal staff with the knowledge, resources and guardrails on how AI should be used responsibly.
  • Real-World Case Studies: Explore how peer governments are actively piloting and adopting AI in procurement processes—taking inspiration from their lessons, insights, and promising practices.
  • Taking Action: Discuss practical steps your procurement team can take to advocate for strategic experimentation and innovation for AI use in your government.

Join our Post-Event Panel Discussion
Stay on for a Q&A session with peer governments who are currently using AI solutions in their procurement work!

No technical background is required. This session is for anyone interested in exploring ideas of how AI can help make public procurement processes more efficient.  Invite your colleagues and join the conversation—you won’t want to miss PEN’s last event of 2026!
