Procurement Freelance - Japan

We are looking for a procurement freelance to carry out the following sourcing activities for us:

STEP 1: Building supplier database.

1) Identify all potential suppliers for the categories and countries assigned. (e.g., long list of suppliers)

2) Use all publicly available information to create a long list of suppliers per category by including all suppliers that appear to be supplying the category being analysed

STEP 2: Pre-qualification of the identified supplier through phone screening.

1) Carry out an initial phone screening process by phone or email or both as needed of the long list based on 4-5 disqualifying criteria which we will give you in order to filter the unsuitable suppliers from the long list.

2) Identify contact person at each supplier to inform about the programme and to check the disqualifying criteria.

STEP 3: Administer an RFI-RFQ process

1) Administer an RFI-RFQ process with the suppliers that have passed the phone screening process. Please note that we will create the RFI-RFQ template and pass it on to you. the RFI-RFQ will be sent to the suppliers via our “global sourcing platform” and the suppliers will respond online. So your task will be to call the suppliers to incite them to respond and to respond as completely as possible and on time.

2) You will need to translate the response from the suppliers in English if the answers are in the local language other than English.
