Terms & Conditions

Draft — last updated 18 July 2026

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using any Procurement Force product — the Force Sims, the Value Capture Kit and related engagements, or the Practitioner Sign-Off Pack — you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you don't agree, please don't use the services.

2. Who we are

Procurement Force UK ("we", "us", "our") operates procurementforce.uk and the products described below. We are based in the United Kingdom and can be reached at connect@procurementforce.uk.

If that changes — for example on incorporation — we will update this section and the date at the top of this page.

3. The services

Procurement Force provides AI simulation systems and value capture services for procurement and operations teams:

  • Force Sims — AI-driven negotiation and stakeholder simulations, scored against a fixed rubric, sold by session or by membership.
  • Value Capture — a savings governance methodology delivered as a kit or as a configured engagement, built on software you already license.
  • Practitioner Sign-Off Pack — a per-submission summary of a saving, structured for finance review.

These are decision-support tools, not advice. Simulations are training exercises against an AI counterpart, and scores reflect performance in that exercise only. Nothing we produce constitutes professional procurement, legal, accounting or financial advice, and you remain responsible for the commercial decisions you take and for any figure you report to your own organisation.

Sign-off summaries are prepared to our methodology and structured for finance review. They are not an audit, an assurance opinion, or a verification of your figures — they are built from the information you give us, and the judgement on your own numbers remains yours.

4. Peer Benchmark submissions

Our commitment

This policy protects you, our user, and Procurement Force — by design, we do not collect or disclose supplier pricing. The Force Peer Benchmark only ever asks for your own organisation's internal planning information (such as a forward budget range) — never a current contract price, never a supplier's quote, and never anything that could put you in breach of a confidentiality obligation to a third party.

By submitting to a Peer Benchmark, you confirm that:

  • The information you're sharing is your own organisation's, and you're authorised to share it externally.
  • You are not disclosing information subject to a confidentiality agreement, NDA, or contractual restriction with a third party (e.g. a supplier).
  • You will not submit figures that could reasonably identify your organisation, a specific contract, or a specific supplier relationship, even in aggregate.

Individual submissions are never shown to other users — only aggregated ranges, and only once a minimum number of submissions has been reached in that category. We do not verify the accuracy of submissions and are not responsible for a submitter's compliance with their own third-party obligations.

5. Accounts

An account is required for membership and for anything that carries a session balance. You are responsible for keeping access to it secure and for activity that takes place under it.

Some purchases — the Value Capture Kit and the Practitioner Sign-Off Pack — can be made without an account, using only an email address for delivery.

We may suspend an account where we reasonably believe it is being used to abuse the service, to resell access, or in breach of these terms.

6. Pricing and payment

Nothing is currently on sale. Every product, simulation and tool is Pro Tier — coming soon, and there is no active purchase route on this site. The clauses in this section and the next continue to govern purchases already made, and will apply again when products reopen.

Prices are shown in pounds sterling on the page where you buy, and that is the price you pay. Payment is taken by Stripe. We never see or store your card details — they go directly to Stripe, who process them as a controller in their own right.

We are not currently VAT registered, so no VAT is charged and none is shown. If that changes we will say so clearly before it affects any price you pay.

We may change prices. A change never affects a purchase already made, and for a membership we will give you at least 30 days’ notice by email before it applies to your renewal — giving you time to cancel first if you would rather.

7. Memberships and renewals

Memberships are monthly and renew automatically until you cancel. Each period gives you a session allowance for the tiers your plan includes.

  • Your monthly allowance resets at the start of each period. Unused sessions from a period do not carry over.
  • Session top-ups you have bought separately do not expire at reset, because you paid cash for them. They are used only once the monthly allowance is exhausted.
  • Mastery requires a LinkedIn-verified account. This is not an upsell — peer benchmarking and supplier sentiment are only worth anything if contributors are real, named practitioners.
  • If a renewal payment fails, we may suspend access to paid features until payment succeeds. We will email you first.

To cancel, email connect@procurementforce.uk and we will cancel it. Cancelling stops the next renewal; it does not shorten the period you have already paid for, and you keep access until that period ends.

8. Cancellation and refunds

If you are a consumer (buying as an individual rather than for a business), the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 give you 14 days from purchase to change your mind about a distance contract.

Because our services start immediately, one thing follows from that: if you ask us to begin within the 14 days — by running a simulation, or by starting a delivered engagement — and you then cancel, we may charge you a proportionate amount for what has already been supplied. If the service has been fully performed within that period with your agreement, the right to cancel is lost.

If you are buying for a business, that statutory right does not apply. Your cancellation rights are the ones set out in these terms.

Outside the cancellation period we do not refund unused sessions or a part-used membership month, but if something has gone genuinely wrong — you were charged twice, a session failed and took your allowance, you were billed after cancelling — tell us and we will put it right.

9. Delivered engagements

Some purchases are delivered work, not access to software. The Value Capture Kit is one: buying it books an engagement rather than unlocking a download.

  • We will contact you within one working day of purchase to arrange a kickoff.
  • You receive the materials described on the page at the point of purchase, and the support period stated there, running from the kickoff.
  • Delivery depends on you too — kickoff scheduling, access to the people involved, and reasonable responses to questions. Where a delay is on your side, the timescales move with it.
  • Materials are licensed to you for use inside your own organisation. You may adapt them for internal use. You may not resell, publish, or supply them to a third party as your own. Intellectual property in the methodology stays with us.
  • If you cancel before the kickoff has taken place, we will refund in full. Once delivery has begun, see section 8.

10. Prohibited use

  • Submitting information you know to be false, or that breaches a third-party confidentiality obligation.
  • Attempting to identify or deanonymise other users.
  • Using the platform to harass, defame, or target any individual or company.
  • Scraping, reselling, or redistributing aggregated benchmark data without permission.

11. Intellectual property

The Procurement Force Index (PFI), the Procurement AI Index (PAI), the Procurement Force name, and associated branding are the property of Procurement Force. Aggregated, anonymised benchmark data may be used by Procurement Force for research, reporting, and product purposes.

12. Disclaimers & liability

Procurement Force provides its services "as is," for informational and benchmarking purposes only. Aggregated data should not be relied upon as the sole basis for a commercial, financial, or legal decision. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Procurement Force is not liable for decisions made based on benchmark data or other content on the platform.

13. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time, particularly as new features (such as paid tiers or new benchmark categories) are introduced. Material changes will be flagged on this page.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction. Nothing here limits your rights as a consumer under UK law where those rights apply.
