London cosmetic procurement: document a supplier comparison

A purchasing method to use with a written specification and real samples.

Packaging reference illustrating this decision: Luxurious Skincare & Makeup Collection: Elegance Encased. Image represents a catalogue design, not a location or supplier ranking.

Decision 1

Use an evidence table

For each proposal, record the actual production site, packaging scope, sample revision, quoted quantity and relevant documents. Keep unknown answers visible rather than ranking suppliers by an attractive portfolio.

Decision 2

Make the decision traceable

Compare the loaded samples and written offers against the same brief. Record the selected proposal, unresolved conditions and approval owner so the result is a documented purchasing decision rather than an unverified league table.

Turn the method into a sample brief

Bring the result of “use an evidence table” and “make the decision traceable” to the packaging discussion. Share the real contents, relevant drawings and the decision still to resolve.
