Local
Domestic suppliers understand the need of the local market. They are the shortest production timescale, competitive pricing, and potentially the lowest carbon footprint of any of our rostered suppliers.
Regional
Our network of suppliers across Africa and the Middle-East are highly responsive, highly qualified, and can increasingly compete with far eastern suppliers. They offer shorter lead times and a lower carbon footprint than China.
Global
Despite the challenges over the cost of shipping, tariffs and political unrest, China remains the dominant provider of products of this nature due to its manufacturing capabilities, low-cost labour and propensity for product innovation.

E-Auction and Competitive Bidding
A system that supports you maximising your budget.
Point utilised pt.Drive for all buying processes
Competitive Blind Bidding is run as our standard process via the system. The suppliers are categorised in our system and the procurement specialists select 3 – 5 suppliers to bid.
Suppliers are aware that our criteria for selection is delivery lead time and pricing and therefore put in their best pricing.
Procurement specialists are unable to see any of the submitted pricing until the RFQ has closed. Ensuring governance.
E-Auction is a function within the RFQ function within our system, by simply selecting the ‘reverse auction’ key, the system does the rest. Allowing for either average of quotes for second round or starting bid price.
Our E-Auction selection is based on thresholds and is not automated on every project.
