Current project – Umay Boutique Resort, Portugal. Residences, villas and tree houses for sale in Portugal. More Info
My name is Robert Dunn and I am a procurement consultant with nearly thirty years of multi-brand hotel project experience . Focusing on the procurement/purchasing of equipment (OS&E) for new hotel projects, I offer services for hotel operators, owners, designers, FF&E agents, developers and logistics companies. Quality products conforming to international standards are delivered on time and within budget.
More-info In brief I procure, on behalf of the Client, over 3000 products for each hotel project, from my unique global network of suppliers. Originally based in Hilton head office, for ten years as a procurement manager, I then became a procurement consultant, with Clients like Le Meridien, Marriotts, Sheraton, Four Points, Jumeirah, Intercontinental and Viceroy. I support the owner’s local team by focusing on the procurement of goods to be imported, while the owner’s local team manages the local activities. (see scope below). I act in the best interests of the Client at all times balancing the different needs of all stakeholders. Tendering is to an international network of pre-qualified suppliers ensuring quality and value for money. I am committed to green tendering ensuring a positive environmental benefit. Less-info

Information about Suppliers A strong supportive international supplier network is key to successfully completing hotel projects. Through work on many international five star projects, over a period of twenty five years, I have built up a large network of such suppliers, manufacturers and specialists. They supply quality products and services, conform to international standards, provide value for money and are financially secure. They ensure good working conditions for their employees as well as manufacturing and products that are green, sustainable and eco-friendly. Less-info
Green Ideas.
I am looking for green product ideas.
Examples
- Products that are energy, water and resource efficient.
- Made with minimum use of virgin materials.
- Non polluting in manufacture.
- Materials re-usable and recyclable.
- Products often have ecolabels and certifications schemes.
Green Tender
If all other factors are similar (price, quality, service, maintenance and resupply etc), a local supplier may be chosen over a remote supplier as the reduced level of transport represents a positive environmental benefit.
In addition suppliers normally conform to my Green Policy.
