A Good Start for Procurement Experts

While procurement remains one of the strongest industries to continue its business despite the COVID pandemic, it has definitely given a lot of businesses a run for their money. First off, materials are now very hard to come by. The lockdowns and the current Container Crisis are giving every major port in the world a big headache, importing materials and supplies from other countries is now extra difficult.

We at Procurement Tactics know exactly the importance of procurement for each and every one of us. We all want our procurement process to go smoothly, which is why we always want to take care of our suppliers as much as we want to. Of course, things don’t always go as planned; we’re pretty sure you all have that unfortunate moment when you realize that your supplier for years had to close down due to the pandemic!

If you are currently looking for a new supplier or you are a new procurement manager who needs a guide on how to spot the best supplier for your procurement needs, then the following supplier questionnaire below is perfect for you. Of course, the final decision entirely rests on how these suppliers give their answers and what their answers are as well. Take note that no answer is perfect; just follow your gut instinct and don’t forget to keep track of the supplier’s reputation too.
