Procurement process

From product brief to supplier comparison and dispatch handover.

The process adapts to the requirement while keeping the inputs, actions, decision gates and responsibilities visible.

How the work takes shape

Each stage should give the next decision better information.

01

Define the brief

Inputs: product specifications, quantity, destination, timeline and commercial priorities. Velkor helps turn these into an RFQ-ready brief; the client confirms the decision criteria before supplier outreach.

02

Search and compare

Activities can include supplier research, RFQ coordination and quotation comparison. Outputs focus on supplier responses, MOQ, lead-time and commercial differences so the client can decide which options warrant further review.

03

Review and prepare controls

The work identifies the verification questions, sample coordination needs, quality checkpoints and documentation requirements appropriate to the order. The client approves the supplier choice and the level of review required before progressing.

04

Coordinate order handover

Velkor supports supplier communication, working timelines, documentation and dispatch coordination within the agreed scope. The output is a clearer handover between the buyer, supplier and relevant logistics parties, not a substitute for specialist inspection, legal or customs advice.

Responsibilities

The buyer decides. Velkor supports the work around the decision.

Clients provide accurate product, quantity, market and commercial requirements, then approve the suppliers, quotations and controls they wish to proceed with. Velkor's role is agreed by engagement and can include sourcing coordination, supplier communication, comparison, verification support and dispatch handover preparation.
