Introduce your capability
A useful introduction explains what your organisation supplies, where it operates, its relevant experience and the support it can provide. Be clear about the problem your product or service addresses and the capacity you have to deliver it.
Quality, value and follow-through
A supplier relationship depends on more than an initial price. Reliability, technical understanding, service support, delivery commitments and the ability to resolve issues all matter when evaluating a proposal.
Information and responsible practice
Depending on the work, a discussion may cover data handling, security, business continuity and the responsibilities of each party. Share confidential documents only after the recipient and the appropriate submission channel have been confirmed.
Starting a conversation
Use the contact page to request the appropriate procurement contact. Do not send banking credentials, payment-card details or confidential customer material with an initial enquiry. An introduction does not establish approved-supplier status or a purchasing commitment.
Prepare a supplier introduction
Describe the legal entity, ownership, service offered, locations served and relevant experience. Explain information-security and business-continuity arrangements where the work involves systems or customer information. Send confidential commercial material only when the receiving team confirms the approved channel.
From proposal to engagement
An introduction is not a purchase order or contract. Confirm the scope, deliverables, authorised buyer, pricing and payment terms in writing before starting work. Use the reference specified for invoices and independently verify requests to change payment details.
During the relationship
Raise delivery risks early, document changes and keep contact and ownership information current. Any access to systems or records must remain limited to the agreed purpose and be removed when the engagement ends.
