Our managed purchasing service is designed to be simple, familiar, and low risk — especially for businesses that already work with MDL Kelex.
You tell us what you need.
We handle the sourcing, ordering, and supplier management.
You deal with one trusted, approved supplier.
Step-by-Step: How Managed Purchasing Works
Step 1 – Tell Us What You Need
You let us know what you’re looking to purchase — whether it’s a one-off item, specialist product, or something outside your usual suppliers.
- You can contact us by:
- Phone
Your usual MDL Kelex contact
No forms. No portals. No new processes.
Step 2 – We Source the Product or Supplier
We identify the most appropriate supplier based on:
- Product suitability
- Availability and lead times
- Cost and reliability
If there are options or considerations, we’ll talk them through with you before proceeding.
Step 3 – We Place and Manage the Order
Once approved, we:
- Place the order on your behalf
- Manage supplier communication
- Track progress and delivery
- Resolve any issues that arise
You don’t need to chase suppliers or manage updates — we do that for you.
Step 4 – Delivery & Completion
Your order is delivered either:
- Directly to you, or
- Via MDL Kelex (where appropriate)
If anything isn’t right, we handle it.
Step 5 – Simple Invoicing
You receive:
- One invoice from MDL Kelex
- Your usual payment terms
- No additional supplier accounts to manage
We charge a simple percentage of the order value for managing the process.
