How to become an Approved Supplier

All procurement for the Communisis Group is orchestrated centrally through Communisis Sourcing. Based in Leeds, we co-ordinate purchasing strategy as well as actively managing our supplier base to ensure we secure maximum value in all our commercial dealings. Our supplier approval process goes through 5 steps:

Step 4: Instant Quotation

Fully approved print suppliers are inducted into the ‘Communisis IQ’ Instant Quoting system.  Prices from the tender/e auction form the ceiling costs for the future. 

Once in IQ, the supplier owns his prices in the system and quotes automatically against any job within their capabilities.  Each job is mini-auctioned, and suppliers still need to win in competition against other approved suppliers.
