Supplier Tender Process

People often talk about the devastating disadvantages of single source, and rightly so. However, if you are in the fortunate position of being able to fall back on several alternative suppliers, this also means that you have to organise tenders.

1

Before things get underway, the framework conditions must be crystal clear, from requirements planning to Incoterm and technical specifications, because the offers should be comparable.

2

The suppliers should all receive the enquiry at the same time and submit their offer by a defined date at the latest. Otherwise things can quickly get completely bogged down.

3

The supplier's documents arrive by e-mail and possibly from different contact persons. There is therefore a risk that these messages will get lost in the daily flood of emails.

4

Finally, the offers may still have to be approved by the specialist departments (QC, Regulatory, Purchasing Manager).

5

These documents and the tender selection process should be stored securely for the auditors.

6

If several tenders run in parallel, it can quickly become confusing and errors can occur.

The Challenges

Supplier tenders are complex and error-prone processes. If several tenders run in parallel, it can quickly become confusing.

Cross-departmental coordination

All departments contribute to the success of the tender. Coordination is not always easy, especially when information is managed in different formats and different databases.

Find documents quickly.

Where exactly is which information to be found? Have all documents and specifications been approved? What deadlines are there?

Clear communication

Communication with suppliers comes on top of the daily flood of emails in your inbox. Information can quickly get lost in the process.

Frequently Asked Questions about relatico

Do my suppliers need their own version of relatico?

No, they don't. Your suppliers can access the necessary information and collaborate with you using shared links on their webbrowser. This ensures ease of access and seamless collaboration without the need for additional software installations.

Is relatico suitable for businesses of all sizes?

Absolutely, relatico is meticulously designed to cater to businesses of every scale and industry. For small to medium-sized businesses (SMBs), our tool streamlines supplier management processes, fostering efficiency without the need for significant resources or overheads. This means SMBs can achieve the kind of supplier collaboration and management typically reserved for much larger entities. On the other hand, for big corporations with intricate supply chains and multifaceted supplier ecosystems, Relatico offers robust features, deep customization, and scalability to manage extensive supplier portfolios, ensuring smooth operations and optimal supplier relationships. In essence, whether you're an emerging startup or a multinational corporation, Relatico adapts and evolves with your supplier management needs, ensuring that every business, regardless of its size, can benefit from seamless supplier relationship management.

What is relatico's approach to risk analysis of the supplier base?

Background: Risk analysis is a fundamental component of the Supply Chain Law (LkSG). In daily business operations, there's often little time to delve into the intricate details of LkSG, leading to confusion and misjudgments.

Our Approach: The Relatico team has devised a simplified procedure for supplier base risk analysis. Our goal is to help our clients kick-start their risk analysis swiftly and provide comprehensive information to their customers. We've designed a step-by-step model that segments the supplier base, creating manageable work packages.

Note: While we assist with data collection and analysis, we cannot make strategic decisions for you. However, we're here to help with our expertise.

What sources are used for the risk analysis?

We recommend focusing on data already available within the company or easily accessible. Use objective, standardized data and avoid qualitative, subjective information. Commonly used sources in the initial phase include:

Commercial ERP data

Address data (ERP master data)

Country risk

Certification status and performance


Tip: Approach it with a "keep-it-simple" mindset, but avoid shortcuts.

How are prevention and remediation measures represented?

Within the relatico database, task packages can be planned and executed, both independently and in collaboration with external partners. This also encompasses complaint management.

How does supplier monitoring/mapping work? Can a Tier-N Mapping be performed?

Absolutely. Relatico can visually represent supply chains in a clear diagram format, enabling quick identification of contacts.

How does your SRM software facilitate supplier risk management?

relatico, is built with advanced risk management features. It evaluates and monitors suppliers, their historical data, and feedback to identify potential risks. Additionally, the software offers alert systems that notify users of changes or inconsistencies that might indicate a risk. By providing a centralized platform, users can quickly respond to potential issues, ensuring that the supply chain remains robust and reliable.

When will there be extensions for CSDDD, EUDR, and CSRD reporting obligations? Will the software be updated accordingly?

Companies well-prepared for LkSG will be aptly prepared for CSDDD. The CSDDD is an extension of LkSG and comprises a set of regulations familiar to German companies through LkSG. Firms integrating LkSG preparations with CSDDD considerations will have a competitive advantage, especially over foreign companies new to this area.New legal provisions, especially those regarding human rights, will often overlap with LkSG and CSDDD. The processes established in companies for LkSG and CSDDD can be recontextualized, building upon existing knowledge.Relatico's Commitment: We closely monitor changing requirements and aim to support our clients in meeting these obligations. If new needs arise, we're equipped to respond efficiently and competently.

SRM software vs SCM software: What are the differences?

SRM software is intensely focused on nurturing, optimizing, and enhancing relationships with suppliers. It enables deeper, more collaborative partnerships, fosters improved communication, and aids businesses in extracting maximum value from their supplier relations. On the other hand, SCM (Supply Chain Management) software provides a broader view of the entire supply chain network, encompassing procurement, production, and distribution. While SCM maximizes the efficiency of the entire chain, SRM ensures that the relationships within this chain are strong and fruitful. With our software, relatico.next the focus lies on SRM. That being said, relatico qualifies as both: an SRM and SCM solution, offering the best of both worlds in a single tool.
