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 sourcing and procurement services include: • Spend analysis and recommendations • Electronic catalogue capability • Integrated system architecture • Contract negotiation and management • Supplier relationship management • Working with a network of accredited suppliers Our competitive edge lies in our ability to reduce spend, implement transparency and commit ourselves to cost-savings, which can all be measured through key performance indicators.
