Opportunities for Irish food and drink suppliers

Avendra International Ireland is always on the lookout for innovative
products, with a preference for locally sourced goods. Suppliers must be
able to compete on pricing while maintaining high sustainability standards.
Although competitive pricing is critical, the company also prioritises
quality, consistency, and reliable service.

A commitment to sustainability drives the business to partner with
suppliers that source responsibly and help their clients reduce their carbon
footprint.

Purchasing policy and supplier requirements

The business works with suppliers that provide quality products and
services at competitive prices.

All products and services must comply with EU standards, and all
suppliers must have appropriate accreditations in place before they will be
considered.

Distribution providers

Avendra International works with a wide range of suppliers and
distributors. Suppliers are selected through a tender process, typically with
one nominated supplier per product type to ensure compliance. In some
cases, a secondary supplier may also be appointed.

Advice to new suppliers

Interested suppliers should visit the website www.avendra.com or contact
David Reynolds at Reynolds-david@avendra.com for more information and
details on how to become a nominated supplier.

All suppliers are carefully vetted. References will be sought.
