Strategic Innovation earns McKesson Ireland Top Honour at National Procurement Awards 2024

McKesson Ireland claimed the Best Private Sector Procurement Project of the Year at the National Procurement Awards 2024, recognised for its forward-thinking approach to integrating commercial, supply chain, and financial planning into one cohesive framework.

In April 2023, the company’s Private Label Leadership team identified a key opportunity to streamline operations by creating a unified planning process.

The result was a Playbook designed to sustain long-term organisational improvements and enhance strategic decision-making through intuitive, data-driven insights.

Judges praised the project for its clarity, collaboration, and measurable results, noting that McKesson Ireland had demonstrated “exceptional foresight” in simplifying the inherently complex S&OP process while maintaining focus on key performance indicators.

The initiative was celebrated as a benchmark for excellence in private sector procurement, reflecting the company’s commitment to innovation, operational efficiency, and continuous improvement.

This achievement highlights how strategic procurement can drive not only internal alignment but also broader organisational agility, a crucial advantage in a rapidly evolving business environment.

Join the National Procurement Awards 2025 Gala on 6 November 2025 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Santry, and be part of the celebration honouring the people and projects transforming procurement in Ireland.
