Burberry plc

Burberry hired PPS to manage the tender process for the appointment of a 4th party logistics provider. The contract effectively encompassed all of Burberry's global logistics requirements. Our role was to prepare an invitation to tender (ITT) and request for information (RFI) document. We achieved this by working with senior management to ensure that all relevant information concerning the shape and size of the global supply chain was incorporated.

PPS handled each stage of the selection process. This included: initially interviewing an agreed list of possible 4th party logistics providers; and reducing this to a short list that was invited to present a pitch to Burberry management. From this we created a second short list, to which we sent the prepared tender documents. PPS scored and summarised each response for the client. We then facilitated and chaired the final selection meeting, supporting the client to its concluding decision.
