Procurement review
Tell us what you buy. We will tell you exactly where we land.
A catalogue does not answer the question a purchaser is actually asking, which is whether changing supplier is worth the administrative effort. So we answer it directly: send us the lines you purchase and we return our pricing at your volume, specification for specification.
Sharing your current pricing is optional. If you can share it, we set our pricing against yours line by line. If you cannot, or would simply rather not, tell us what you need and we will price it. A photograph of the item or its identification tag is often faster than describing a specification in writing.
What you receive
A comparison you can take to your controller
- Line by line, not a blended discountEach line shows our price at your volume, set against your current cost where you have shared it, so you can see which lines actually move.
- Specification matched, stated honestlyWhere an exact match is not available the line says so. A lower price against a lower grade is not a saving.
- Availability and lead time per lineStock lines are identified as such. Everything else carries a confirmed lead time before you commit.
- Documentation included as standardProof-test certificates, identification tags and conformance documentation are part of the product, not a priced extra.
- A programme, not a one-off quoteWhere volumes justify it we hold the specification and quote programme pricing, so reordering is a single line rather than a fresh negotiation.
What the comparison guarantees
We do not promise a percentage. We promise the numbers.
In most cases the comparison comes back significantly better on at least one of price, quality or speed. But that is established on your specifications, not asserted in advance.
Numbers you can put side by side
Every line you send comes back priced like for like: same grade, same working load limit, same fittings, same documentation. Never a lighter component presented as a saving.
Lead time and documentation stated per line
Each line carries its lead time, sourcing route and the documentation supplied, so the comparison covers speed and quality, not just price.
A straight answer when we cannot help
Where we cannot improve on your current supplier on price, quality or speed, the line says so, upfront. A comparison that only ever says yes is not a comparison.
No charge, no obligation, no account required. If staying with your current supplier is the right answer, the comparison will show that too.

Two lines is enough to begin. Add as many as you like, and attach anything that helps us identify the specification.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to share what I currently pay?
No. Sharing your current pricing lets us return a direct line-by-line comparison, but it is entirely optional. Many buyers are not permitted to disclose supplier pricing, and many simply do not have it to hand. Send us the products and quantities you need and we will price them.
What information do you actually need?
The product, the specification and roughly how many you buy. If you are unsure of the specification, a photograph of the item or its identification tag, a reference specification, a page from a catalogue or a drawing is enough for us to work from.
Is my pricing information kept confidential?
Yes. What you send is used to prepare your comparison and is not shared outside our team or with our manufacturing partners.
What if you cannot match a specification?
We tell you. A comparison is only useful if it is like for like: same grade, same working load limit, same fittings, same documentation. We will not quote a lighter component against your line and present it as a saving.
How long does it take?
Most requests come back quickly. Large multi-line lists and heavily engineered items can take longer, and we will tell you at the outset if that is the case.
Am I committing to anything?
No. There is no charge, no obligation and no account required. If we cannot improve on your current supply, that is a useful answer too.
Do you only compare lifting equipment?
No. Lifting and rigging is our specialism, but we source across industrial supply, including site safety consumables and branded equipment. If you buy it repeatedly, it is worth putting on the list.
