Partnering with our clients – offering best price and service

Ensuring that the client
receives the right product,
at the best price within
agreed service levels is what
Sherwood International is
all about, according to
Alida Smit.
Recently we were
involved in the supply of a
large new mine in Zambia,
sourcing supply of over
5000 line items within a
2-month period, with initial
consolidations and deliveries
to mine site completed.
As Africa’s leading
procurement partner, we
partner with our clients in
the provision of outsourced
procurement services.
In Zambia we are
currently operating in the
Copperbelt, providing fully
outsourced procurement
services and offering deep
supply chain experience,
expertise and countryspecific
knowledge.
By utilising our
international supply network
built up over 30 years,
we can source any item,
enabling us to negotiate
supply contracts to the benefit
of our clients.

Our competitive
