Opportunities for Irish food and drink suppliers
Cost competitiveness and quality of product, along with timely delivery
and back up service, are considered to be essential qualities of a successful
supplier. Cost competitiveness is becoming an increasingly important
consideration.
The company does not see opportunities for import substitution as it has a
policy of supplying Irish made foodstuffs where possible.

Purchasing policy and supplier requirements

Irish Ferries use the Access System Procure Wizard to process all orders.

Suppliers should contact the On Board Services Manager to establish the
next tender date. After quality, price and the ability to meet the delivery
windows are the key criteria in making a purchasing decision.
