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 1: Pre Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ)

For any supplier to be considered for entry onto our approved supplier list, they must first complete our on-line pre qualification questionnaire (PQQ). Supplier information is gathered online through our weighted Questionnaire covering the following areas:

• Company Profile and Plant Information
• Financials
• Quality
• Information Security
• Environmental Policies
• Corporate Social Responsibility
• Agreement to Terms and Conditions

Those suppliers who fulfil our criteria will be invited to quote when their area of spend comes up for review.  All information and scores are stored securely within our Supplier Data base to form part of our on going Supplier Relationship assessment.
