Information for Suppliers
A strong supportive international supplier network is key to the successful completion of hotel projects.
Suppliers for hotel projects are selected through the pretender and tender process. Normally 3 suppliers are included in the tender process for high value packages. The best offers are selected by the Buyer (e.g. Client, owner). Final orders are placed by the Buyer direct with suppliers ie contracts (including payment) are between the Buyer and the Supplier.
My preferred supplier list including manufacturers and other specialists has been built up over thirty years of working on international projects. Supplier references include some of the most successful international hotel operators.
My Online Showcase of Product Ideas presents some of these preferred suppliers.
