One way for a purchasing manager to secure an advantage for their company in a bidding process is to create relationships with vendors and suppliers. Creating strong partnerships will help build trust and increase collaboration, which can give your company access to special prices and promotions as well as gain morefavor with the vendor. Additionally, you could ask the supplier about adding value-added services such as installation or training with the purchase of their products, or explore volume discounts. Using these techniques allows you to maximize the potential of getting the best bid for your company.

As a purchasing manager, you have the power to negotiate a favorable price and terms for your company in any bidding process. To use your position to secure an advantage, consider the following tips: Before submitting a bid, calculate the total cost of ownership including both purchase price and associated costs; research prices on similar products/services offered by competitors; evaluate product quality and compare it with other bids; build relationships with potential suppliers beforehand so that they will look out for your interests during the bidding process; and make sure that paperwork is submitted correctly before any deadlines. As well, if needed present an attractive payment plan or extra services as part of an overall package deal.
