Grass Roots creates approved supplier list

Leanne Bell , 18 March 2010

Grass Roots has created approved and preferred hotel and venue lists following a project to benchmark service levels across its suppliers.

The agency gathered views from clients and Grass Roots staff about their expectations of suppliers, and selected more than 60 international hotel groups and representation companies to participate in an RFP, which took six months.

Grass Roots rated the suppliers on:

Fair pricing
Dedicated account management
Issue resolution
Quality of product
Delivery excellence
Performance improvement
Business continuity
Health and safety
CSR
Financial stability

Subsequently, the agency has created a list of approved suppliers that have met expectations and preferred suppliers that exceeded them.

Grass Roots group supplier relations manager said: "The process has enabled suppliers to recognise the high standards we set, and ensured the selection of like-minded suppliers that will ensure consistent service delivery to our clients."
