Partnership 03

Sourcing & Margin Partners

Better sourcing decisions, from a new product brief to an established range.

What we take on.

  • Product requirements, specifications and acceptance criteria
  • Supplier research, screening and comparable quote requests
  • Landed-cost comparisons with assumptions made explicit
  • Sample coordination and structured evaluation
  • Commercial negotiation and packaging coordination
  • Production milestones, inspection and freight coordination
  • A documented supplier decision and handover

What we report

Comparable landed cost; sample acceptance against the brief; supplier terms; agreed quality requirements and production milestones.

How the partnership is priced

A clear basis
for working together.

We confirm eligibility, scope, responsibilities and the fee calculation before starting.

Sourcing / an agreed basis for the work

A fee model suited
to your sourcing brief.

We agree the commercial model after understanding the product, specification, order volumes and supplier work required. The arrangement can be based on realised verified savings, accepted goods value or a separately scoped project fee.

For an existing product, a savings-based arrangement needs a fair, comparable baseline and evidence from actual eligible purchases. Specifications, quality, quantities, currency, freight and transition costs are agreed before any saving is measured.

For a new product without a genuine savings baseline, we agree the applicable goods-value or project-fee basis, acceptance criteria, eligible orders and end date. The agreement states the rate or fee, exclusions, adjustments and any included reorders. We do not charge both savings and goods-value commissions on the same purchase.

You choose and pay the supplier directly. Quotes and invoices remain visible; any supplier rebate is disclosed and credited to you. Samples, testing, inspection, production and freight are separately identified and approved.

Fees, any minimum or fixed component, calculation bases, scope, review points and external costs are agreed in writing before work begins. Review does not automatically change the agreed price. Existing client agreements retain their terms. GST applies to taxable Novellus fees and the full payable amount is made clear in the proposal. Outcomes depend on products, stock, budgets and market response; sales and savings are not guaranteed.

An editable spreadsheet comparing your current product or quote with up to two supplied alternatives. It shows the specification, order size, freight, duties, currency assumptions, cost per usable unit and gaps needing confirmation.

Send the specification and available quotes or baseline costs. We use supplied information; this sample does not claim a verified supplier, negotiated offer or guaranteed saving.
