Merillgrove / Services / Supplier Search
Find Supplier Options You Can Actually Evaluate.
We build the search universe, screen against your requirement and turn the strongest options into an evidence-backed shortlist with a qualification path.
A Supplier List Is Only the Beginning.
Finding names is easy. The sprint sets criteria, screens candidates, asks for evidence and shows what is still left to check.
- 01
Define the Requirement and Search Criteria
We agree what the supplier must be able to do, and what rules them out.
- 02
Build and Screen the Search Universe
We find who might supply and screen them against your criteria.
- 03
Review Capability and Commercial Evidence
We ask the strongest candidates for evidence and check what they send.
- 04
Develop the Shortlist with a Source Trail
You see each shortlisted supplier and where every fact came from.
- 05
Set the RFQ, Qualification and Verification Actions
You get the next steps to qualify and request quotes.
What You Get Back.
Candidates are not approved suppliers by implication. You see exactly what is proven and what is not.
Search Criteria and Longlist
The criteria we screened against, and everyone we looked at.
Evidence-Backed Shortlist
The strongest options, with observations and sources.
Open Gaps and RFQ Actions
What is still unproven, and what to ask next.
A Debrief
We walk you through the shortlist and answer questions.
What We Need from You
The scope, fee and delivery timing are agreed before work starts. A desk-led sprint is not a factory audit, lab test, engineering approval or compliance opinion; that work is scoped separately.
Buyer-Focused. No Supplier Commission.
We are paid by you, never by suppliers. The shortlist follows your requirement and the evidence.
What Must the Supplier Be Able to Do?
