Cpl has been announced as Gold Sponsor of the National Procurement Awards 2026, with the gala taking place on 22nd October at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry. The partnership brings together Ireland's most respected procurement recognition programme with one of the country's most experienced and far-reaching talent solutions providers, reflecting a shared understanding that procurement excellence begins with having the right people in place.

Headquartered in Dublin and operating across Ireland and the UK, Cpl has spent over 35 years building a reputation as a leading provider of talent solutions for leading global brands and ambitious organisations across a wide range of sectors. Its offering spans specialist recruitment, managed services, business process outsourcing, and strategic talent advisory services delivered through Cpl's Future of Work Institute, a platform that positions talent strategy not as a reactive function but as a forward-looking competitive advantage.

That breadth of capability is particularly relevant in the context of the National Procurement Awards and Ireland's wider procurement community. Procurement transformation and digital procurement innovation are only realisable when organisations have access to the right talent at the right time, whether that means identifying experienced procurement professionals for specialist roles, building managed service models that flex with organisational demand, or developing the strategic workforce planning that ensures procurement leadership capability is sustained over the long term.

Cpl's Future of Work Institute adds a further dimension to its value within the procurement sector, providing data-driven insights and advisory support on how workforce trends, digital transformation, and emerging skills requirements are reshaping the talent landscape. For procurement teams navigating a rapidly changing environment, that kind of strategic intelligence is increasingly important.

As Gold Sponsor of the National Procurement Awards 2026, Cpl brings both deep talent expertise and a genuine commitment to the procurement leadership, operational efficiency, and Irish procurement excellence that the programme exists to celebrate.
