Procurement decisions in life sciences are about more than price and process. They shape supplier relationships, impact innovation, and ultimately strengthen or weaken your organisation’s growth and investment potential.

This roundtable event brings together legal and procurement expertise to offer a joined-up view of what strategic procurement really looks like in a life sciences context.

Rachel Bradley, Partner at Penningtons Manches Cooper, Miranda Williams, Business Consultant and Executive Coach and Mark Hollinson, Director at Biotech Procurement Solutions, will offer practical insights from both sides of the supplier relationship, blending commercial realities with essential legal protections.
