Test the market
Your Suppliers May Be Great. But Are You Testing the Market?
Most merchandise businesses naturally build relationships with a handful of trusted trade suppliers. You should keep using them—but the best supplier for one job is not always the best supplier for the next.
Today's capacity
Stock position, production capacity and appetite can change before your next order.
Last month's price
A price that was competitive six months ago is not necessarily competitive today.
You're seeing their price. You're not necessarily seeing what the wider market is prepared to do for that specific order, right now.
A better buying process
So We Turn the Buying Process Around.
Instead of searching suppliers and asking for a price, take a live requirement to a wider market and let relevant suppliers show you what they can do.
The usual question
“What's your price?”
You rely on a fixed supplier list and ask each supplier for their current price.
The tender question
“Who wants this order?”
Relevant suppliers know there is a live opportunity and have every incentive to put forward their strongest commercial offer.
A live tender process
One Live Job. Multiple Suppliers Competing For It.
Every option is assessed against the actual requirement—not an indicative catalogue price.
Send the Live Requirement
Give us the product, specification, branding, quantity and deadline.
Already have a price? Give us that too.
We Put the Job Out to Tender
We take the opportunity to relevant suppliers across our UK and global network.
Multiple buying routes get the chance to compete.
Suppliers Compete
Suppliers respond to the actual quantity, specification and timeframe.
You are testing live market appetite, not a catalogue price.
We Find the Strongest Route
We compare price, specification, production capability and lead time.
Every recommendation is built around the job in front of you.
You Decide
Choose the strongest option, or validate that your existing supplier is still best.
Either way, you buy with more information.
Keep what works
Keep Your Favourite Suppliers. Just Don't Stop Testing the Market.
We're not asking you to dismantle supplier relationships that have taken years to build. Use your existing suppliers when they're the best option. Use Wholesale Merchandise to find out when they're not.
Testing the market could mean:
- An average saving of 15%.
- A product your normal suppliers cannot supply.
- A factory willing to make something bespoke.
- Confidence that your current price is genuinely competitive.
Already have a quote?
Give Us the Price to Beat.
If you've already sourced the job, don't start again. Send us the specification, quantity, deadline and your current best buying price. We'll take that live opportunity to our network and see whether the market can do better.
Give us a real job and judge us on the result.
Price to beat, target price, artwork, product specification or existing quote—we'll use the information you already have to get the job moving.
Why tendering is different
Static Price Lists Tell You What Something Costs. Competitive Tendering Tells You What the Market Will Do.
Prices are always moving.
Exchange rates, stock positions, production gaps, order quantities and supplier strengths all change the economics of a job.
Live opportunities create stronger offers.
Suppliers can become considerably more competitive when they are bidding for real business rather than giving an indicative price.
More than a tender
And When Your Existing Suppliers Don't Have It?
Send us the brief once. We'll take the opportunity to the market and find suppliers capable of delivering it—without sending you back to search catalogues, websites and inboxes.
