Over the past couple of months, I, Emilia Cedeno, Enhancing Capability Lead at CCS, have been working with colleagues and a wonderful selection of guest speakers to help create a series of insightful podcasts which I hope will help you along your procurement journey. 

The podcasts are presented by myself, along with guest host Josh Dell, Digital, Data & Technology Commercial Manager at Department for International Trade. Josh is also a CCS buyer and avid member of the Buying Digital Community, so it was great to have him hosting alongside me for our first ever podcast series. 

We have focused this series around 3 key topics and have a selection of fantastic guest speakers on board to share lots of useful knowledge and insights with our listeners : 

  • development for procurement people – featuring Warren Smith, Global Digital Marketplace Programme Director
  • the importance of pre-tender market engagement – featuring Stacia Copple, Digital, Data and Technology Commercial Manager at Department for International Trade 
  • how to deal with internal stakeholders – featuring Adam Hill, Project Manager, Government Commercial Function, Cabinet Office 

We have also recorded a bonus episode so you can hear all about how the Buying Digital Community has grown and developed since its inception back in March 2018.

You can tune into our podcast series now on iTunes and Spotify.

We hope you enjoy our first podcast series, but if you would like to learn more in the meantime, please get in touch:
