Balfour Kilpatrick operates a structured supply chain based on commodity groups, with each group having 'preferred' and 'approved' providers. There is a formal process in place to establish the approval status of each provider and to manage the performance of the relationships so developed.
The supply chain structure and operational procurement and supply management processes are summarised by the following philosophy.
Balfour Kilpatrick aim to optimise the value added by our supply chain transactions. This added value is realised through the careful selection and management of suppliers and subcontractors drawn from our accredited supply chain database. Balfour Kilpatrick has developed long-standing relationships with selected supply chain providers and these established trust based relationships, together with our knowledge and expertise of the mechanical and electrical services sector, enable the timely delivery of efficient and effective project specific solutions to our client base.
