It’s our mission to simplify complex information about sourcing and procurement. Whether you’re a student researching the field of procurement or an experienced procurement director who wants to stay up-to-date – it’s our goal to deliver the best information possible.

Since we started Procurement Tactics, we’ve helped millions of people with just that. We feel it’s important to share how we go about writing all of the best articles many procurement professionals depend on.

Principles

Empowering: Procurement can be intricate and challenging. We aim to provide you with information that empowers your decision-making, no matter your experience level in the field. Our content is designed to be practical, giving you the confidence to apply this knowledge in your procurement activities.

Unbiased: Whether it’s evaluating suppliers or understanding the impact of global supply chain trends, we put things into perspective and present all relevant facts. Our articles are well-researched and we do everything we can to make them unbiased.

Accurate: In the dynamic world of procurement, having precise and up-to-date information is crucial. We are committed to clarity and regular updates. Our team collaborates with leading experts in various procurement areas to ensure our content’s reliability. We welcome and promptly address any feedback from our readers regarding inaccuracies or errors. Please reach out to us for any corrections.

Inclusive: We strive to ensure our content is relevant and respectful to people from diverse backgrounds. This includes varying ages, nationalities, religions, gender identities, sexual orientations, ethnicities, relationship statuses, physical and mental abilities, and family types. Our goal is to create content that reflects and respects the diverse spectrum of individuals engaged in the procurement process.

Ethics

We adhere to the highest standards of professional ethics in procurement journalism. Our content aligns with the principles of ethical journalism as outlined by leading journalism and business writing organizations. This includes ensuring accuracy and fairness, minimizing harm, maintaining independence, and practicing accountability and transparency in all our reporting and analysis. We also comply with relevant regulatory guidelines, including those pertaining to disclosures, in our procurement content.

Editorial process

Our team of editors and a network of expert contributors are responsible for creating and managing all the procurement-related articles you find on our platform. Our aim is to provide relevant analyses, context, insights, and educational information to assist you in making well-informed procurement decisions. 

Our editorial team continuously reviews our content to identify articles with information that may be outdated or no longer applicable in the current procurement landscape. Such content is either updated or, if necessary, thoroughly rewritten and re-edited for accuracy and relevance. This process is supported by our network of experienced procurement professionals who adhere to our strict editorial guidelines. Articles that have undergone updates are clearly marked with the date of modification to ensure transparency and up-to-date information for our readers.

Quality standards

Every procurement article on our platform is the result of a collaborative effort, ensuring that it is responsible, precise, comprehensible, and useful while embodying our core editorial values.

Our editorial team independently approves all topics related to procurement, ensuring that they align with our readers’ interests and needs. We assign these topics to expert contributors who have in-depth knowledge and experience in specific areas of procurement. Our team of professional editors, fact-checkers, and producers rigorously reviews each piece of content to ensure it adheres to our standards of being empowering, inclusive, unbiased, and accurate.

We require all staff members to disclose any potential conflicts of interest to maintain the integrity of our content and the trust of our audience. This commitment to transparency is a cornerstone of our approach to delivering high-quality, reliable procurement information.

Writers

Our procurement experts are meticulously recruited, thoroughly vetted, and carefully chosen.  They are selected for their deep understanding of procurement and their ability to communicate intricate topics in a manner that is clear, accessible, and actionable.

Each article features the name of its author or reviewer prominently at the top of the page, adjacent to the publication date. This name is linked to their biography, where you can learn more about their qualifications, education, professional background, and social media profiles.

All our writers are obligated to adhere to the editorial guidelines outlined above. This commitment ensures that the content they produce is not only informative and engaging but also maintains the high standards of quality, accuracy, and integrity that our readers expect.
