As one of the most popular categories to run eTender events, many Hosts can underestimate the level of work required to make this category a success. The first point of call is to obtain your previous year’s annual volumes either from your purchasing systems or from your incumbent suppliers.
Our recommendation is to examine breaking the category down into stationery, IT consumables, paper etc..although this does depend on your spend and desired outcome. Then to create a core list of items (use the pareto rule on your spend), an alternative core list and a basket. See our template here. This structure will give you the opportunity to consolidate suppliers and your requirements. Next you will need to work on your SLA’s.
We can help to connect you with suppliers from a range of different stationary and office supplies categories. In addition, our software also allows you to manually add suppliers via their email addresses.
Office supplies is a highly competitive category with the majority of suppliers familiar with eSourcing events, even if your spend is low, there are normally specific account managers for lower spends in these large distributors who will find your business sufficiently attractive. Therefore we highly suggest that you’re using a negotiation strategy that maximises your returns from the high level of competition with minimal effort.
