Real-world cases
Price rises, supply crises, tenders and ethical dilemmas, built from situations buyers face every week, complete with messy, incomplete information.
Real-world cases, real analysis and real pressure, played as a game. Your team investigates, negotiates and decides against the clock, and sees exactly what each choice does to the business.
No sign-up needed for the demo. Every company, person and figure in the game is fictional.
Erin Walsh, Albion Pack: “Fernbrook can’t qualify on your lines for months, can they?”
Today’s procurement teams work under tight deadlines, with incomplete data and stakeholders who want different things. Procurement Tycoon puts them in exactly that position, then shows them what happened and why.
Price rises, supply crises, tenders and ethical dilemmas, built from situations buyers face every week, complete with messy, incomplete information.
No multiple-choice quizzes. Players read contracts, work out weighted cost drivers, test their alternatives and build a plan they have to defend.
Limited time, colleagues who disagree and a supplier who pushes back. Shortcuts and bluffs have consequences, just as they do at work.
James Reed, Finance: “This I can defend to the board. Evidence-based and well below the ask.”
Players work with Supplied the way they will on the job. Category research, supplier research and negotiation plans are part of every mission, so your team builds the habit of getting to the evidence fast and checking it before they act.
32 missions in six chapters, from understanding the business to negotiating, contracting and running a portfolio.
Every debrief scores the commercial result, use of evidence, supply continuity and relationships, and explains each score.
Team progress reporting and scenarios tailored to your categories are planned for future releases.
Your key packaging supplier wants 12% more. You have three days to find out whether that’s justified, win over Finance and Operations, and walk into Friday’s negotiation with a plan that protects both cost and supply.
Play The Albion Deal in ten minutes, then picture your whole team doing it.

Two documents worth reading closely. Look for anything that changes your position.
7.1 The prices in Schedule 2 apply for each contract year.
7.2 Any revision to the prices requires the mutual written agreement of both parties. No automatic or unilateral indexation applies.
In plain terms: Albion can ask, but it can’t impose a change.
| Period | Price | Quarterly spend |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 Q3 | £0.112 | £560,000 |
| 2025 Q1 | £0.115 | £575,000 |
| 2025 Q3 | £0.118 | £590,000 |
| 2026 Q3 (now) | £0.120 | £600,000 |
| Albion’s request | £0.1344 | £672,000 |
Scale starts at £0.10 to show the change.
Already up 7.1% since 2024. Now another 12% in one step.
Albion blames rising costs. But each cost only counts in proportion to its share of a carton. Work out what each one really adds.
How many percentage points does {{labDriverLower}} add to the total cost?
{{labFbTitle}}
{{labFbText}}
Paper 1.8 + energy 2.7 + labour 0.6 + freight 0.6 + other 0 = 5.7 points. Albion is asking for 12.
Energy 2.7 · paper 1.8 · labour 0.6 · freight 0.6. Indicative indices only: not proof of Albion’s actual costs.

Fast, evidence-based analysis on this case. Each report adds intel to your deck. One visit uses one action, and you can run all three reports in it.

Supplied builds this on an evidence base
Run Category Research and Supplier Research first. The negotiation plan draws on both.

Use Supplied outputs to support strategy development, not as the sole basis for decisions. Always validate the information.
A simulated market bulletin says paper input prices are easing. Paper is the biggest single part of a carton’s cost.
Lena Fischer, Operations
“Heads up: someone on my team heard Albion might be planning maintenance. If that’s true, I need to know before we sign anything. Can you find out?”
Erin arrives at 9. Prepared moves hit harder in the negotiation.
You didn’t collect any intel. You’ll be negotiating on instinct alone.

You found every key piece of intel. Impressive detective work.
Use Supplied to build your evidence base fast, then prove the 12% isn’t justified (5.7% weighted), confirm Albion can’t impose it (clause 7.2), and check your alternative is real before relying on it (16 weeks, 8m cartons). Keep Erin warm enough to learn about the outage, then trade a longer term or capped review for a rate near 5.7% with capacity guaranteed through the shutdown. Never reveal your budget.
