Tendering is the term used to describe the procedure of comparing various carriers before making a decision The tender process makes it relatively easy to gain insight into potential carriers and their price/quality ratios.

IDS has extensive experience of supervising and supporting tender processes for companies who intend to outsource some or all of their logistics and/or transport activities. In most cases, a tender process results in considerable cost savings and/or improvements in performance.
Our consultants are happy to take the lead in tendering projects. They draw up a project plan, conduct analysis and prepare the necessary documentation. Often, they also act as the primary contact person in the process, for example when a shipper initially wants to stay anonymous or lacks the time and resources. We evaluate the results before providing their recommendations to you.
