1.
This list of policies has been set out by the Senior Buyer. It is a statement
of the role and authority of the Purchasing Department within Pearl. It shows
clear guidelines to be followed when a purchasing decision is made. It will
also be useful for new and established supplies.
2.
The Purchasing Director approves all purchase orders. It is then left to the
appropriate buyer to sign the order.
3.
It is policy to single source all resale products. The only exception to this
is where there is or has been problems obtaining an item.
4.
Purchasing has no local supplier preference and will source from anywhere in
the world to obtain the product.
5.
It is not our policy to buy and hold currency.
6.
We do not oppose a policy of competitive bidding for new or existing products.
7.
It is not our policy to disclose information given to us in confidence.
8.
Quotations for goods will be evaluated on price, quality, delivery, and
knowledge of supplier and the strength of the representation.
9.
An account with a new supplier will only be opened after terms and conditions,
agreed in negotiations with that supplier, have been confirmed in writing.
Thereafter, the supplier should supply in accordance with the requirements of
the purchase order.
10.
Deliveries will normally be delivered to our central warehouse, but suppliers
may be requested to deliver direct to a third party customer.
11.
In cases where more than two pallets are being delivered, you will be required
to book your delivery with our Goods Inwards Department. (Hours Monday to
Friday 7.30am – 4.45pm.)
12.
The Key contract with the supplier is the buyer. All other functions within the
company will fall within the parameters agreed by the buyer.

Sourcing decisions are made on the basis of cost effectiveness. Pearl buys
products off the the shelf from third party suppliers; has product manufactured
at third party suppliers from own tooling; and manufactures products, in house,
at two manufacturing plants.
