Building relationships with prospective suppliers

Our procurement is carried out primarily from our seven regional offices, although national trading agreements are implemented from our head office in Tamworth. Excellent new suppliers are always welcome, although we do ask all suppliers to adhere to best-practice procedures.

We ask all subcontractors and suppliers to ensure they have an order before they start work on site. All our orders are contractual documents and contain the relevant quantities, prices and terms. If you do not act in accordance with the order, for example you deliver more than we order or charge a different price, payment will be delayed. Site staff do not have authority to vary the quantity, type or price contained in any purchase order. In addition, all deliveries must be signed for on site by an authorised member of Lovell staff.

All new consultants, subcontractors and suppliers must complete a vendor registration form prior to acceptance as a Lovell-approved vendor. You should contact your local regional office as a first step, and obtain a Lovell sponsor who will propose you for approval.

We ask you to submit to us your CIS details for verification prior to starting on site, and to keep us updated with any changes to those details.

Purchase ledger invoices and statements must always be sent to our head office in Tamworth. We do not accept factored accounts. If you intend to factor your invoices, please inform us immediately so appropriate action can be agreed.
