Procurement
Procurement is the acquisition and deployment of goods or services. Due to continuing globalisation and off-shore production, logistical procurement is nowadays recognised as a strategic business process and an integral part of Supply Chain Management. Currently, the supplier side consists of hundreds of logistical service providers, varying from well-known leading global players to small regional specialists. Experience shows that by contracting the right logistical partner(s), our clients can boost their business in the strategic direction chosen.

The extensive proven experience of LHC’s tender process has delivered outstanding results, meeting and usually exceeding our client’s expectations. These outstanding 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 the most relevant logistics service providers.



In cooperation with the client’s management, LHC determines the best approach for locating 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 such a plan, elements like market developments, company strategy, contract management, and operational ways of working are covered.
 
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 clients' management. This calculation is recognised as having significant added value.
