    Buying Cyber Insurance and what's a SOW? Ask Rich & Ed Ep30
    Sep 21 2026
    We get lots of questions from our listener(s) on Procurement Says No. Now you can listen to them all again in our series of mini bite-sized podcast chunks. Like dog food.

    In episode 30 we've gone mostly cyber...
    • What level of cyber security should I buy for my $200m pharma packaging business?
    • What level of cyber security should I buy for my traditional weaving business using industrial looms?
    • If you work in a cyber business, should you outsource your cyber security?
    • What's the difference between a statement of work (SOW) and a works order (WO) (not a trick question)?

    All of the procurement questions, all of the time. Woohoo.

    Aug 12 2026
    We get lots of questions from our listener(s) on Procurement Says No. Now you can listen to them all again in our series of mini bite-sized podcast chunks. Like dog food.

    In episode 29 we have more lovely questions including:
    • Buying a trench - how much should it cost?
    • Using strategic consultants with "should cost models" - is this better than going to market?
    • Buying garments from a supplier in Pakistan with reported modern slavery in the supply chain - what's the next thing to do?
    • If your boss is very close to a supplier - suggesting direct awards and sharing competitors' pricing - should you be suspicious?
