Advice to new suppliers
Potential new suppliers should approach the Procurement Manager, who
will discuss the approach with hotel chefs before making a decision. A
supplier can also approach a chef directly, who will in turn contact the
Procurement Manager.
Other information
Credit terms for suppliers to the Group are normally ‘45 days’.
The group prefers to have Long Term Agreements with suppliers where
possible, although the precise terms will depend on the type of food
product that is supplied.
The majority of purchasing agreements are for at least one year and some
are for up to three years, with provision for price reviews, depending on the
market.
