Purcell, one of Ireland’s leading building contractors, is set to be the first in the country to implement ProcurePro, a modern construction procurement solution, digitizing their procurement process end-to-end. Purcell is taking the lead in transforming how procurement is managed across the sector, setting a bold new precedent for the industry.

This growth presents both significant opportunities and challenges for Irish contractors, who must adapt to meet the rising demand for faster, more efficient project delivery. Purcell’s embrace of digital procurement technology positions the company to capitalize on these opportunities while streamlining operations and reducing risk.

“The construction industry in Ireland is at a crossroads,” said Tom Whelan, Commercial Director, Purcell Construction. “To remain competitive and deliver projects more effectively, we knew we had to embrace innovation. Digital procurement isn’t just a trend — it’s a necessity. We’re leading by example, showing that contractors can stay ahead by moving away from outdated methods to smarter, more streamlined solutions like ProcurePro.”

Purcell’s leadership in digital procurement will likely serve as a catalyst for other Irish contractors, setting the stage for widespread adoption of digital tools across the sector. With project timelines shrinking and competition intensifying, the Irish construction industry is primed for a digital transformation, and Purcell is at the forefront of that change.

“Purcell’s decision to lead the way in digitizing their procurement processes will undoubtedly inspire other Irish contractors to follow suit,” said Alastair Blenkin, Founder & CEO, ProcurePro. “This is a defining moment for the industry — innovation like this will drive efficiencies that benefit not just contractors, but also their clients, supply chains, and the wider economy.”
