The State of UK Procurement & Supply Chain Resilience

STRATEGIC INSIGHTS 2026

2026 Survey Analysis of 53 Senior Leaders across Aviation, Construction, Manufacturing, Pharma, Supply Chain and Retail industries.

Executive Summary

In 2026, the UK supply chain landscape has moved beyond recovery into an era defined by intelligent resilience, where agility and digital capability are central to performance. Yet our survey of 53 industry leaders highlights a widening divide. While investment in AI, automation, and advanced analytics continues to surge, many organisations are struggling to unlock meaningful returns. The challenge is not technological ambition—it is foundational weakness.

Fragmented data, poor data quality, and limited process integration are constraining visibility and slowing decision-making. These gaps are diminishing the impact of digital investments and, in some cases, increasing operational complexity rather than reducing it.

This report distils four critical challenges identified by industry peers and sets out a clear path forward. At its core is the Value Weaver roadmap—a pragmatic, outcomes-driven framework that aligns data, processes, and technology. The goal is simple: to eliminate friction at source and transform operational inefficiencies into sustainable competitive advantage.

We are attaching the report for our clients to assist in setting the priorities right before they embark on their transformational journey. PFA.
