Sourcing Projects Update


Forklifts
Since the update in the Q3 newsletter, all forklift RFPs have been submitted to Corporate United and distributed to the member sourcing committee. The Corporate United team is speaking with suppliers to clarify responses and narrow the field. Committee members are meeting to further discuss the RFP feedback, review the evaluation of the responses and determine the outcome of the project. Follow-up steps with the supplier finalists will occur in December, and a contract should be completed by early Q1.
