The Supply Chain - as Strong as the Weakest Link

The Supply Chain - as Strong as the Weakest Link

The supply chain in any project is only as strong as the weakest link. 

Whilst we should all carry out due diligence before embarking on a commercial relationship, things can and often do change during the duration of that relationship. Maybe a business stretches itself too far and takes on too many orders. Maybe external commercial pressures or changes in exchange rates put increased pressure on an organisation to meet its payments. Perhaps payment terms start stretching further and further. Whatever the cause, a financial shock to a key element in the supply chain can have a devastating effect on a project.

To alert businesses to such potential threats, TenderSpace? has now broadened its offer – not only can you now source Credit Reports from one of the top 3 providers in the world through our platform, but we will alert you when there are material changes to the creditworthiness of a member of your supply chain or client.

And for January only, we are offering 20 Credit Reports for only £99 (plus vat) together with our alert service and all of the other tools and functionality that has made TenderSpace so popular. Simply enter Linkedin17 and start sleeping better at night
