Our Services
Procurement and delivery support built around the way your organisation works.
Some clients need help with an individual enquiry. Others need a long-term procurement partner capable of managing sourcing, orders, consolidation, logistics and delivery.
Rainbo offers a range of flexible procurement models, allowing us to support a single requirement, an ongoing purchasing programme or the complete procurement and supply chain function.
Approved Supplier
Rainbo has worked as an approved supplier to more than 150 organisations across infrastructure, mining, energy, agriculture and international aid.
Rainbo can become an approved vendor within your existing procurement process, responding to RFQs and tenders as requirements arise. Our team searches an international network of manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers to identify products that meet the technical, commercial and delivery requirements of each enquiry.
We focus on getting the fundamentals correct: the Right Quality, Quantity, Place, Time and Price.
Aggregator
One procurement partner. One point of contact. One invoice.
Our aggregator model allows clients to outsource their procurement and delivery requirements to Rainbo.
Instead of managing numerous suppliers, orders and shipments separately, clients can place requirements through one experienced team. We source equipment and materials, manage suppliers, consolidate orders and coordinate delivery to the agreed destination.
This reduces administration, simplifies cost control and provides greater visibility across the purchasing and delivery process.
Through NEBA, our dedicated shipping and freight arm, we manage international freight, trans-shipment, consolidation and in-country delivery where required.
PSC Procurement supply contract
A Procurement Supply Contract, PSC, is suited to organisations that purchase the same products regularly or need more certainty around pricing, availability and delivery.
Working with the client, we agree the relevant product categories, commercial terms and ordering process. Requirements are placed through scheduled or call-off orders without repeating the full sourcing and quotation exercise each time.
Rainbo manages supporting documentation, including technical information, production dossiers, customs documentation and delivery records.
This model makes recurring purchasing faster, more consistent and easier to manage.
Ad-hoc procurement
Not every requirement needs a long-term agreement.
Our ad hoc procurement service supports one-off purchases, individual projects and occasional requirements that sit outside a client’s usual purchasing activity.
We can work from a detailed specification, equipment list or initial requirement. Our team will identify suitable suppliers, compare available options and manage the order through to delivery.
This is particularly useful for specialist products, unfamiliar categories or internationally sourced materials that would otherwise take an internal team considerable time to locate and manage.
Supply chain services
Placing an order is only one part of the process. The goods must also be inspected, documented, packed, shipped and delivered safely.
Rainbo can provide supply chain support alongside any of our procurement models. Depending on the agreed Incoterms and project scope, this may include supplier coordination, expediting, inspection, consolidation, export documentation, freight forwarding, marine cargo insurance and delivery management.
Clients receive a clear point of contact and regular updates throughout the journey.
Through NEBA, our in-house shipping and freight arm, we can provide a coordinated service from the supplier’s premises through to the nominated port, hub or final destination.
