Animation of a network of independent companies
Tenders every month
Each month you will receive a schedule of activities and negotiations for current and future purchases.
Meetings are set up with members to define the calls for tender to be issued and the parameters to be taken into account. Our current schedule is to conduct 4 new tenders every month.
For complex products or services, working committees are set up with the members who combine the most purchases or who wish to participate.
Members have the option of participating in negotiations or delegating them to Widoo professional buyers.
The selection of suppliers is made on the basis of an evaluation grid based on six fundamental criteria that can be adapted according to the wishes of the working groups: Price / Payment terms / Quality / Proximity / CSR commitment / Delivery performance commitment.
The new contracts are posted on the digital platform with a presentation to the members.
The life of the network
To be able to work with other members and combine your purchasing expertise, we offer a dynamic and friendly network life with multiple events and meeting opportunities.
Working committee session by theme or profession
Our working committees bring together members on a specific theme, field, or trade to discuss their issues, exchange information, and guide Widoo in launching or improving calls for tenders.
The themes to date are :
Supplier discovery meetings
Meetings are conducted with suppliers to introduce you to their companies and the benefits of their services or products. But it is also an opportunity for our suppliers to get direct feedback from our members on their satisfaction or on their requests.
Workshop with experts
Meetings are organized with experts in all areas that can help us in the development of our businesses and in reducing our costs: technology, sales, CSR, etc.
