What to Expect
What Your Procurement Report Looks Like
At the end of the process you receive one professionally structured report: every bid, every design, every score, and a clear recommendation. From racking to forklifts and MHE, we leave no stone unturned. Here's what's inside.
The Deliverable
One Report. Every Answer.
Instead of a folder of mismatched quotes, you receive a single, coherent document that makes your decision straightforward and easy to justify to stakeholders. We leave no stone unturned: every racking configuration and every forklift or MHE option is priced, scored and compared side by side. Below is a preview of each section, walkthrough of what you'll actually receive.
02
Site & Operational Analysis
Warehouse dimensions, current operation, throughput data and detailed storage requirements — the factual foundation for every bid.
03
CAD Design Options
Two to three fully annotated layout options, so you can see exactly how each configuration uses your space.
04
Racking Tender Example
A single table comparing every racking supplier on price, lead time, warranty, spares availability, local support and SEMA compliance — like for like, with nothing left unchecked. This is exactly the kind of comparison that goes into your report for pallet racking, drive-in, push-back or shelving projects.
| Supplier | Price | Lead Time | Warranty | Spares | Local Support | Compliance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier A | £248,000 | 10 wks | 2 yrs | Yes | Yes | SEMA |
| Supplier B | £231,500 | 8 wks | 2 yrs | Yes | Yes | SEMA |
| Supplier C | £262,900 | 7 wks | 2 yrs | No | No | SEMA |
| Supplier D | £255,400 | 12 wks | 2 yrs | No | Yes | Partial |
| Supplier E | £244,100 | 9 wks | 2 yrs | Yes | No | SEMA |
| Supplier F | £239,800 | 11 wks | 2 yrs | Yes | Yes | SEMA |

Forklift / MHE Tender Example
The same scrutiny applies to forklifts and materials handling equipment. This is a big part of what sets Stratos apart — trucks are compared on more than headline price, including standby/relief truck (STR) cover, first time fix rate, local engineer coverage and response time, so nothing is missed.
| Supplier | Truck Type | Price / Lease | Lead Time | STR Cover | First Time Fix | Local Engineers | Response Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier A | 2.5t Counterbalance (Electric) | £34,500 | 21 wks | Yes | 88% | 4 | Up to 4 hrs |
| Supplier B | 2.5t Counterbalance (Electric) | £31,200 | 19 wks | Yes | 94% | 7 | Up to 4 hrs |
| Supplier C | 2.5t Counterbalance (Electric) | £36,800 | 22 wks | No | 79% | 2 | Up to 8 hrs |
| Supplier D | 2.5t Counterbalance (Li-ion) | £39,900 | 20 wks | Yes | 85% | 3 | Up to 4 hrs |
