Starting point
What the business actually needs to solve
Multiple sites need common standards while leaving enough room for local differences.
Central procurement can standardise items and quality levels while usage and quantities vary by site. If all details are kept in one combined item, local time windows, access or contacts are quickly lost.
Planning
Prepare the details in a structured way
Each site receives a clear name, delivery address and responsible person. Shared product standards are documented centrally, while quantities and rhythms are maintained locally. Cost centres or internal references can also be added.
Decision
What is reviewed before a quote
One central quote can be useful when scope and billing remain transparent. With very different sites, separate partial offers or a phased start may be the better solution.
