Sourcing & Procurement

Finding, vetting and buying from suppliers, with the logistics already accounted for.

A cheap unit price that arrives late, in the wrong specification, or with freight that eats the margin is not a saving. Procurement and logistics are the same decision, and treating them as two is how landed cost gets out of control.

We identify and vet suppliers, negotiate on your behalf, inspect before shipment, and consolidate orders so you are not paying for six separate shipments of things that could have travelled together.

What we handle

  • Supplier identification

    Shortlists built against your specification, volume and target cost.

  • Due diligence

    Licence, capacity, references and track record checked before you commit funds.

  • Negotiation

    Price, incoterm, payment terms and lead time negotiated as a package, not in isolation.

  • Pre-shipment inspection

    Verification of quantity, specification and packing before the goods leave.

  • Order consolidation

    Multiple suppliers combined into one shipment and one arrival.

  • Landed cost modelling

    The number that actually matters: goods, freight, duty, handling and finance.

Frequently asked questions

How do you charge for sourcing?

Either a fee per project or a percentage of order value, agreed before we start. We will tell you which structure suits the work. An ongoing programme and a one-off purchase should not be priced the same way.

Do you take commission from suppliers?

No. We act for the buyer, and taking money from both sides would make our recommendations worthless.
