Procurement Models

Model 1

JPLS source products, based on the customer specification provided, and then deal directly with multiple UK suppliers, negotiating the best purchase price possible. JPLS notify the customer of the pricing, terms, etc. and if acceptable, the customer pays the supplier directly, claims the VAT back themselves and arranges delivery to the JPLS Rainham.

Model 2

JPLS source products, based on the customer specification provided, and then deal directly with multiple UK suppliers, negotiating the best purchase price possible and pay and purchase directly on behalf of the customer on a purchasing agent basis. If acceptable, JPLS pays the supplier directly, including the VAT (which isn’t charged to the customer – see below) and arranges collection and delivery to the JPLS Rainham.

What can we procure and ship

JPLS can effectively source anything our clients require

Procurement and Shipping Process

• We take the stress and hassle out of purchasing products from UK and worldwide suppliers, and then shipping them to the Caribbean.
• We do all the work, so you don’t have to.
• Some suppliers quote higher prices to overseas buyers, as they anticipate extra costs such as export administration fees and bank charges.
• JPLS offers a full procurement service that covers everything from sourcing and purchasing products to delivering them to your destination port of choice in the Caribbean, or worldwide.
• When JPLS buys products on your behalf, you don’t have to worry about upfront VAT charges (UK) or the time and cost of reclaiming them.
• We consolidate multiple orders into one, saving on administration, space, and document charges.
• You’ll receive a single invoice for all charges, with just one payment required (depending on the procurement model used), saving both time and potential transactional bank fees.
