Purchasing is centralised through the Purchasing Director. The New
Product Development, brand management and purchasing departments
influence purchasing decisions.

Various events trigger a tender or review process of SSP’s extensive
product range. The purchasing department agrees the terms and the
individual units order goods.
There are daily delivery windows into third party distributors and SSP is
always looking for efficiencies in reducing drop numbers.

Distribution providers

Distributors to SSP include:
• Irish Merchants
• Musgrave Foodservice
• Sysco
• Hendersons Foodservice

Advice to new suppliers

Potential suppliers should contact SSP via the purchasing email address
above.
