= Introduction =

In 2020, new ways of working have emerged in all industries due to the need to work from home. Even construction, historically a slow adopting industry, has been prompted by clients who are driving the move to embrace technology. This combination of events has resulted in the emergence of connected procurement, also referred to as procurement 4.0.

= Why connected procurement? =

Organisations have been forced to shift from traditional methods of operations to technology based alternatives. Instead of in person meetings, people are now using web-based platforms to discuss, collaborate and plan. Out of necessity, previously reluctant personnel and practices have had to move to computer-based alternatives, thus easy the way for greater digital transformation throughout the organisation.

As a result, there may be an increased demand for transparency with a greater emphasis on data. Organisations that show a willingness to adopt new technologies, if asked, may fare better at finding both new clients and new qualified partners.

= Connected Procurement: The Foundation of Construction Success =

In October 2020, Autodesk published a report on [http://get.construction.autodesk.com/research-report-connected-procurement/ Connected Procurement] based on responses from owners, contractors and subcontractors in the UK and Ireland. The report examined four areas:

== The process of procurement ==

The survey found that contractor qualifications are one of the keys to winning projects. This is where the dependence on data - specifically data relating to qualifications of new partners - comes into play.

== The value of trusted partnerships ==

The survey revealed an increased requirement for trust and a preference for a relationship with a single point of contact. Digital solutions were seen as an important part of preserving and relaying accurate information essential to building trust.

== The impact of COVID-19 ==

In addition to compelling organisations to move forward with technology, the survey found that the current business climate has disrupted established partnerships. To create new partnerships, some companies have had to develop new relationships - some with digitally mature clients that may expect new ways of working.

== The view to the future ==

Technology was acknowledged as a leading factor in transforming the industry according to survey results. By creating networks, technology will ideally help to address issues around productivity, labour shortages and employee retention that survey participants have experienced.

= Sustainability and innovation =

The report found that owners and general contractors are looking for new partners to adapt to industry-wide trends. It also found that approximately a third of owners and general contractors acknowledge the need to use more sustainable construction methods, which is one of the factors that is driving them to find new subcontractors and vendors.

However, 20% of subcontractors report that owners’ internal procurement processes are a roadblock to adopting innovative construction methods like off-site manufacturing – and 29% of owners agree.

In conjunction with the publication of this report, Autodesk has introduced [https://buildingconnected.co.uk/ BuildingConnected] bid management platform to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. The platform is already in operation in North America.
