ProcurePro’s innovative software is transforming procurement in the UK construction sector by eliminating inefficiencies and saving one billion administrative hours globally, helping firms like Mount Anvil and SMD boost productivity and strategic focus amid industry challenges.
Procurement software is increasingly becoming a game-changer in the construction industry, addressing long-standing inefficiencies that have plagued the sector for decades. ProcurePro, a leading player in this space, asserts its ambition to save one billion administrative hours globally through its streamlined approach, fundamentally reshaping how construction procurement operates. Alastair Blenkin, the company’s founder and an alumnus of the prominent 40 Under 40 initiative, emphasises the transformative nature of their software, stating, “Construction teams have been drowning in emails, spreadsheets, and manual processes for decades. We’re not just making minor improvements; we’re transforming procurement from the ground up.”
The UK construction sector is currently grappling with numerous challenges, including a significant shortage of skilled labour, sluggish growth, and notably, slow adoption of technology. Within this context, the benefits of procurement automation extend beyond mere administrative efficiency; they represent a strategic advantage that can empower contractors to adapt and thrive in an increasingly complex environment. Firms like Mount Anvil, Kori Construction, and SMD illustrate the positive impact of ProcurePro’s innovations, experiencing substantial gains in productivity and transparency as a result of digitising their procurement processes.
Mark Hopkins, Commercial Director at Mount Anvil, succinctly captures the sentiment within the industry: “Every construction company should be using ProcurePro. It’s a no-brainer.” This sentiment is echoed by Jon Wren, Commercial Director at SMD, who highlights how digitisation has allowed his team to refocus on more strategic tasks rather than becoming entrenched in repetitive paperwork. Meanwhile, Kori Construction reports improved decision-making capabilities and enhanced cost control, which are especially critical in today’s economically volatile landscape.
ProcurePro’s mission extends beyond mere efficiency; it aims to humanise technology in a sector often bogged down by administrative burden. Alastair Blenkin articulates this goal clearly: “Every hour saved is an hour construction professionals can redirect toward strategic decision-making, relationship-building, and delivering outstanding projects.” This philosophy resonates within the industry, as firms recognise the necessity of evolving to meet the demands of the digital age.
The drive toward digitalisation is increasingly evident; for instance, the platform is projected to be adopted by nearly half of UK builders by the end of 2025. In Australia, adoption rates are already expected to reach 50% among builders, suggesting that similar momentum will be witnessed across the UK and European markets. With a current customer base procuring around 1,000 contracts monthly and partnerships with prominent firms such as Legacie Developments, the demand for ProcurePro’s solutions is reflective of a broader industry trend towards embracing technology.
As the construction sector undergoes this crucial transformation, the message from the industry is emphatic: businesses must adapt or risk obsolescence. Blenkin reinforces this imperative, stressing that ProcurePro is here to convert procurement from the industry’s Achilles’ heel into a competitive strength. The company’s ability to streamline over 15 disjointed processes into a singular, efficient platform is garnering attention and enthusiasm across the construction landscape. As firms like Mount Anvil and SMD continue to reap the rewards of digital innovation, it becomes increasingly clear that the future of procurement is not just about efficiency—it’s about enabling professionals to focus on what truly matters and driving the industry forward into a new era.
With its sights firmly set on expanding its influence, ProcurePro stands at the forefront of a digital revolution within construction procurement, poised to lead with a more intelligent, efficient, and human-centric approach to project delivery. The question now is not whether your procurement is ready for the future, but rather how quickly you can embrace a solution that has already begun to redefine the industry.

below. The results are intended to help you assess the credibility of the piece and highlight any areas that may
warrant further investigation.
Freshness check
Score:
4
Notes:
The narrative closely mirrors previous reports from October 2024, notably those by Procurement Magazine and Construction Digital, which highlighted ProcurePro’s goal to save one billion administrative hours and its expansion into the UK market. ([procurementmag.com](https://procurementmag.com/digital-procurement/construction-sector-saves-two-centuries-of-admin-time?utm_source=openai), [constructiondigital.com](https://constructiondigital.com/project-management/construction-sector-saves-two-centuries-of-admin-time?utm_source=openai)) The specific claim of saving one billion hours is consistent across these sources, indicating a recycled narrative. The report’s publication date of May 29, 2025, suggests it may be a republished or updated version of earlier content. Additionally, the report appears to be based on a press release, which typically warrants a higher freshness score. However, the lack of new information or developments in this version raises concerns about its originality. The absence of significant updates or new data points further suggests that the content may have been recycled.

Notes:
The direct quotes attributed to Alastair Blenkin and Jordan Connachie are identical to those found in earlier reports from October 2024. ([procurementmag.com](https://procurementmag.com/digital-procurement/construction-sector-saves-two-centuries-of-admin-time?utm_source=openai), [constructiondigital.com](https://constructiondigital.com/project-management/construction-sector-saves-two-centuries-of-admin-time?utm_source=openai)) This repetition indicates that the quotes have been reused without modification, raising concerns about the originality of the content. The lack of new or exclusive quotes further diminishes the report’s freshness.
Source reliability

Notes:
The narrative originates from the Leigh Journal, a local news outlet. While it is a legitimate source, its reach and influence are limited compared to major national or international media. The report appears to be based on a press release, which typically warrants a higher reliability score. However, the lack of independent verification or additional reporting raises questions about the depth of the source’s reliability.
Plausability check

The claims made in the report align with previously reported information about ProcurePro’s goals and achievements. The company’s mission to save one billion administrative hours and its expansion into the UK market have been consistent themes in earlier reports. The inclusion of quotes from industry professionals adds credibility to the narrative. However, the repetition of previously reported information without new developments or insights suggests that the report may lack new substance.
Overall assessment
Verdict (FAIL, OPEN, PASS): FAIL
Confidence (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH): HIGH
Summary:
The report largely recycles content from earlier publications without introducing new information or developments. The direct reuse of quotes and the absence of fresh insights indicate a lack of originality and freshness. While the source is legitimate, the limited reach and the reliance on a press release without independent verification raise concerns about the depth and reliability of the reporting. The plausibility of the claims is not in question, but the lack of new content and the recycling of previous material lead to a ‘FAIL’ assessment.
