Procurement is the acquisition of goods or services. Due to continuing globalization and off-shore production, logistical procurement is nowadays recognized as a strategic business process and an integral part of Supply Chain Management. Hundreds of logistical service providers, varying from well-known leading global players to small regional specialists, offer services in this area. Experience shows that by contracting the right logistical partner(s), our clients can boost their business.

 

The extensive proven experience of LHC’s tender process has delivered outstanding results. These results are attained due to our in-depth market knowledge and proven tender process structure. Because of the frequent involvement of LHC in tender processes, we are familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of all relevant logistics service providers.

 

In cooperation with the client’s management, LHC determines the best approach for identifying and contracting the right logistics partner(s) for the coming period. Selection is based upon the current supply chain set-up, the geographical service region and the business requirements. In this, LHC uses a thorough approach for the RFI and/or RFQ process.
 
In the selection phase, LHC evaluates the qualitative as well as quantitative elements of each submission. Part of this phase is a tailor-made impact calculation that makes the effect of each submission transparent to the client’s management.
