Think your category can’t be auctioned? Think again.
 
“Our suppliers won’t engage.”
“We don’t have enough competition.”
“It’s too complicated.”
“It could damage our supplier relationships.”
 
Despite their potential to deliver significant savings, accelerate negotiations and increase transparency, eAuctions remain underused by procurement teams.
 
But are the perceived barriers actually true?
 
Rather than simply telling you why eAuctions work, we’re going to show you.
 
In the third installment of our eAuction Masterclass series, Market Dojo’s Sam Downend and resident eAuction specialist Lewis Barnard will take you inside four real-world eAuctions across different categories, spend levels and sourcing scenarios.
 
For each event, we’ll reveal the challenge, the approach, what happened, the result and why it worked, including the supplier behaviours, auction strategies and practical decisions that made the difference.
 
From categories you might assume couldn’t be auctioned to suppliers you might expect wouldn’t participate, we’ll put common eAuction assumptions to the test using real results.
 
What you’ll learn
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of where eAuctions could work in your organisation, what may be holding you back and how to identify your next opportunity.
 
Who should attend?
