A usable procurement mandate
Define product, purity, tolerance, trial and monthly volume, destination, timing and acceptable payment instruments.
FOR BUYERS & PROCUREMENT / MONTAGUE INTERNATIONAL GROUP
Sourcing begins with the requirement.
Whether you procure copper cathodes, concentrates, aluminium ingots, physical gold bullion or industrial steel, Montague helps shape a defined mandate and assess potential supply against your technical and commercial criteria.
01 / HOW WE ADD VALUE
Less noise. Better qualified sourcing.
Our role is to help the parties discover whether there is a genuine commercial fit and to establish the terms needed for an informed discussion.
Relevant supply-side search
Identify prospective supply sources against those constraints, rather than forwarding generic offers.
Structured counterparty review
Establish entity identity, representation, source or allocation claims and relevant documentation before commitment.
Commercial alignment
Discuss pricing basis, inspection points, Incoterms, bank instruments and next-stage documentation.
02 / START WITH THE ESSENTIALS
What we need from a buyer.
Clear information enables a targeted response. Initial enquiries do not require sensitive banking documents or personal identity records.
Product definition
Commodity, grade, recognised specification, assay or agreed tolerances.
Buying programme
Trial requirement, monthly quantity, destination and desired shipment schedule.
Commercial structure
Incoterms, price basis, inspection requirements and acceptable payment method.
Buyer authority
Purchasing entity, mandate contact and indicative decision process.
