Logistics Tender Management

Robust tender process for logistics services, equipment or software

BoxLogic offer our expertise and robust approach to logistics tender management. Whether you are outsourcing logistics processes or procuring equipment, our consultants can add value. Tendering is a core element of the procurement process and it represents an important step to selecting the right partner.

Our consultants are well-practised in tendering a range of logistics products and we typically perform this as a follow-on phase of work following other strategic or design work. Our team can tender any of the following services for your supply chain:

Automated Warehouse Solutions

BoxLogic are specialists in the tendering of warehouse automation solutions. Our consultants have very strong relationships across the vendor base, through our vast experience of taking client solutions to market. We know exactly what the vendors are looking for to provide the most accurate and comprehensive proposal and budget.

Logistics Services

Whether your supply chain is looking to find a new partner to outsource logistics activities or testing the market as a contract renewal approaches, BoxLogic can add value. Our consultants can manage tenders in warehousing, transport, returns and value-added services to support you in finding the partner that you can trust.

Logistics Software

Our consultants can utilise their experience in tendering and logistics systems to manage tenders for Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Transport Management Systems (TMS), Warehouse Control Systems (WCS) or inventory management and forecasting software. In a large and complex market, allow us to help identify the right potential partners for you.

Material Handling Equipment

BoxLogic can support your operation to select a wide range of Material Handling Equipment (MHE) including storage and picking equipment, racking, mezzanines, forklift trucks, conveyor, packaging equipment and more.

We operate a consistent and robust approach to tendering to ensure that a fair and independent decision can be made:

Selection

Vendor Selection

Proposals are reviewed against a pre-agreed scorecard, prioritising the elements that are most important to the client. Presentations and site visits are carried out to identify a preferred supplier.

Contracting

Contract Negotiations

We work with your team to negotiate any outstanding issues and agree contractual terms. This is where outside expertise can identify common pitfalls in contracts that better balance the risks between each of the parties.

Contracting

BoxLogic can serve any part of the process. Our team manage the complete end-to-end process on behalf of some clients, while other clients are happy to manage the tender process themselves but require support to produce comprehensive and professional documentation, or in the selection process.

We are flexible and happy to fit around your requirements. Naturally, our logistics consultants will have a better understanding of your operation if the tender phase follows a warehouse design, WMS functionality review or network strategy assessment.
