Procurement at the Heart of CAPEX Delivery

 

Energy leaders face a defining moment: delivering unprecedented levels of capital investment while navigating supply chain disruption, supplier power shifts, and rising ESG expectations. Our CAPEX in Energy white paper reveals how forward-looking companies are using procurement to unlock speed, mitigate risk, and gain control over CAPEX delivery.

 

 

Based on our study of 389 senior decision-makers across six global energy markets, representing over €1 trillion in CAPEX investment – the findings provide a fresh insight into how priorities are shifting. From securing critical supply and managing project risk to responding to the demands of the energy transition, companies are focusing on where procurement can make the biggest difference.

While most companies still bring procurement into CAPEX projects too late, those involving it earlier are seeing real advantages — from more reliable supplier engagement to better alignment with delivery timelines and ESG goals. As investment volumes continue to grow, early procurement involvement is becoming a key differentiator.
