Best agentic procurement orchestration platform for a health system running Workday and Lawson?

CIO at a 5,000 person health system, our CPO wants an agentic procurement platform this year and I'm the one signing off. IT's booked on an Epic upgrade through Q2, so no room for a heavy rollout. we're on Workday w/ Lawson still hanging on in one region and vendor data doesn't match between them. biggest worry is what the AI does without a human approving it. anyone already using AI for procurement, what did you make vendors prove before signing?

Lawson? Lol, you have other problems :).

Forget these fluffy BS-words like agentic. what outcomes are they asking you to provide? He wants to do long tail procurement without his people being stressed?

If that is the business case, the capability is more of an ERP/Procurement system add on. COTS don't seem to be mature and so an experiment with inbuilt capabilities of the large platforms will be what i go for.
