We assess the product, delivery or assignment requirements before confirming what we can support. Individuals can use Sourcing and Supply for personal, home and project purchases.

Send us the details. We will confirm whether we can support the purchase and fulfilment arrangement.
We compare relevant options against the agreed specifications, suitability, price, availability, lead time and supporting documentation. Any proposed alternative is presented for your approval before purchase.
Already have a freight forwarder? We source and purchase the agreed items and arrange handover to your nominated forwarder at the receiving location stated in your quotation. Your forwarder manages the onward shipment.
Before purchase, we confirm the handover requirements and whether packing, origin transport and documentation are included. Your quotation separately states the invoice trigger and payment due date.
Prefer Bristones to arrange shipping? We coordinate the purchase and transport with logistics partners to the destination agreed for your order. Your quotation identifies the delivery point and whether freight, insurance, customs clearance, duties, taxes and final delivery are included.
Software licences and subscriptions use the digital delivery or account activation arrangement stated in your quotation. We confirm the product, edition, user or device count, country of use, licence holder, term and renewal responsibilities before purchase.
Tell us what you need, the quantities, country of use or delivery and preferred timing. Add specifications, links, a list or photos.
We clarify specifications, supplier requirements and the proposed fulfilment arrangement.
Review the items, services, included charges, exclusions, payment terms and estimated timing.
Once you accept the quotation and meet the agreed order and payment conditions, we proceed with the purchase.
We coordinate the agreed handover, delivery or software fulfilment and provide relevant updates and documents.
Personal purchases use advance or staged payments as quoted. Approved business customers may be offered Net 30 terms, with payment due 30 days after the agreed invoice date. The invoice trigger is specified in your quotation; any extended terms require written agreement. The onward shipping journey does not extend the agreed payment due date.
Each quotation identifies the procurement and fulfilment services included, together with any charges payable separately. Inspection, specialist packing and consolidation can be discussed where required.
Bring Bristones in to manage a defined part of your procurement workload. We agree the activities, expected volumes, deliverables and reporting, then coordinate the work through the agreed processes.
Activities may include requisition review, RFQ preparation, supplier follow-up, quotation reviews and market price benchmarking, purchase-order administration, expediting, supplier onboarding and procurement reporting.
Bristones manages delivery of the agreed work. Your organisation retains technical and commercial approvals, authorises purchasing commitments and pays suppliers directly. Purchase-order administration is performed only within the authority and system access agreed with you.
The service proposal defines the scope, workload assumptions, working hours, responsibilities, escalation arrangements and fees. Any separate requirement for Bristones to purchase and supply goods is quoted under Sourcing and Supply.
Receiving quotations gives you options. Understanding the specifications, prices and commercial terms gives you a stronger basis for deciding.
Bristones helps procurement teams review one or more supplier quotations for materials, equipment, spare parts and other agreed purchases. We assess the requirement, available price references and relevant terms to explain differences and identify points to clarify or negotiate.
Manufacturer details, model or part numbers, condition, quantities, units and relevant differences between the requirement and the offers.
Available comparable prices and alternative supply sources, with differences in quantities, currencies and delivery arrangements identified.
Lead times, quotation validity, payment terms, warranty, freight and other relevant charges or exclusions.
Specification gaps, supplier questions, negotiation opportunities and the evidence supporting the purchasing decision.
A documented evaluation of the agreed items and quotations, with comparison findings, supporting references, source dates, assumptions and information still requiring confirmation. Recommendations may include clarifying an offer, negotiating particular terms, seeking additional quotations or proceeding with the existing offer.
Public listings and historical prices are indicative references; transaction-specific supplier quotations are identified separately. Where reliable external pricing is unavailable, we explain what remains unverified and what further enquiry is needed. The review may conclude that an existing quotation is reasonable based on the available evidence; savings are not guaranteed.
Business customers can commission a standalone review or include reviews within ongoing Managed Procurement Support. We agree the scope, documents required, professional fee and timing before work begins.
Your team retains technical acceptance, supplier selection, purchasing approvals and final decision-making authority. You can continue buying through your own vendors. Any Bristones interest in supplying the items is disclosed and an appropriate review arrangement agreed before the assignment.
Add specialist capability to your team for an agreed role and period. Tell us the work involved and the experience required so we can assess suitable support and confirm availability.
Requirements may include technical buyers, sourcing specialists, procurement analysts, expeditors, supplier-onboarding specialists and materials or procurement-data specialists, including relevant SAP procurement support.
Before an assignment begins, we agree the role, skills, location, working arrangement, duration, hours, reporting line and proposed start date. Remote, on-site and hybrid arrangements are assessed against the requirement and available capability.
Your team directs day-to-day priorities within the agreed role and retains purchasing approvals and supplier payments. Bristones manages the specialist engagement under the assignment terms. Fees, availability and any replacement arrangements are confirmed before commitment.
We agree the working environment for each engagement. This can include your existing authorised systems or other appropriate tools for requests, supplier comparisons, records and reporting. Access, responsibilities and required skills are confirmed before work begins.
Where procurement process or system improvements are needed, we can discuss the relevant Bristones enterprise services as a separately scoped engagement.
Choose Sourcing and Supply to have Bristones purchase items; Managed Procurement Support for an agreed workload or quotation review managed by us; or Procurement Specialist Support for a role directed by your team. Select Help me choose if unsure.
Bristones purchases and pays suppliers under Sourcing and Supply. Under Managed Procurement Support and Procurement Specialist Support, your organisation pays suppliers directly. Bristones' support or assignment fees and their payment terms are agreed separately.
The due date follows your accepted quotation. Where the agreed milestone is handover to your forwarder, the onward journey does not change it. Payment due at handover and an invoice issued at handover with approved Net 30 terms are different arrangements; your quotation specifies which applies.
Installation, configuration, training and software implementation are included only when separately agreed and quoted. The software quotation states the licence or subscription, delivery or activation arrangement and relevant renewal terms.
We agree the tools for the engagement and can work within your existing authorised systems where the required capability and access are confirmed. A proprietary Bristones platform is not required.
Availability depends on the role, skills, location and proposed duration. We confirm available capability and the proposed start date before agreeing an assignment.
Yes, where agreed. Each part identifies the work Bristones manages, the client's approval responsibilities, who pays suppliers and the applicable commercial terms. Any Bristones supply quotation remains subject to the client's independent approval.
Contact us promptly. Changes, cancellations, returns, product conformity and warranty arrangements are confirmed in the order terms, subject to applicable rights. Handover does not remove the obligations agreed for your order.
Share what you need to purchase, the quotations or procurement work you need reviewed or managed, or the specialist role you need supported. We will review the requirement and discuss the next steps.
