Competitive Pricing & Best Value

Best Value? How can you be sure?

At quoting stage, we make sure that approved suppliers are all given the opportunity to make proposals. If one supplier requires more information in order to provide a quotation we would provide all other tendering suppliers with the same information. This process also promotes fair trading and eliminates unfair competition. As you can imagine, suppliers are as keen to work with us as our clients.

Please tell me more about the way you buy?

Our procurement policy and practices lie at the heart of the operational engine at MPS. Our selection criteria and filtering processes allow us to align correct suppliers with project components at quoting or tendering stage. Before a project can be specified in full, we need to check our understanding of the requirements with you or your appointed staff or agencies. Only then can we begin to assess the way we work:-

• Will we tender or get quotations?
• How will we compare like for like?
• Will a Service Level Agreement be negotiated?
• What form of contract will it be?
• How will the supplier be managed?
• What review mechanisms will we employ?

So you see, our safety mechanisms are woven so tightly into the very fabric of our busines that they take effect before you talk to us.

Is MPS competitive?

Procurement drives our business, and competition is instrumental to the way we buy. It enables us to correctly compare products and prices and engenders an excellent platform for strong negotiation. Our procurement policy is almost a trade-secret but our experienced buyers ensure that it is always a buyer’s market. Our buying power and process enables us to establish the most competitive market prices available for printing or mailing. MPS prices are competitive by design.
