3PL provider tender

Comparable offers start with good data

A low rate for one activity can come with high additional charges. Before requesting proposals, we describe the operation, seasonality, responsibilities and quality requirements.

A 3PL is an external provider delivering agreed logistics services. A tender assesses both the cost of the partnership and the provider's capacity to support your business.

How we run the tender

We collect data and prepare the request for proposals. We define the calculation method so that providers price the same scope, then compare offers and clarify differences.

• Product profiles, sales channels, volumes and seasonal peaks.
• Receiving, storage, picking, dispatch, returns and additional services.
• System integrations, reporting and required service levels.
• The full charging model, indexation, minimum commitments and start-up or exit costs.

What you receive

We provide a cost comparison for agreed scenarios, assess important terms and prepare a negotiation recommendation. We identify assumptions to confirm during a site visit or process trial.

The outcome may be a new provider or improved terms with the incumbent. If a transition is needed, we can support the timetable and arrangements for service continuity.
