Our End-to-End Procurement Process
Understand how it works: N&H Global Sourcing provides a transparent, risk-mitigated procurement process that connects African buyers directly with UK, European and Chinese equipment markets.
How It Works: Our UK Sourcing Process
We analyse your equipment specifications, Bills of Quantities (BOQ), volume needs, target delivery ports, and budget constraints
- Technical feasibility & BOQ validation
- Regional suitability assessment (RHD/LHD, tropicalisation)
- Indicative landed-cost pricing matrix
Supplier Verification & Commercial Terms
Direct engagement with vetted manufacturers and certified equipment dealers across the UK, Europe, and China to secure priority production and trade terms
- Verified supplier background & compliance check
- OEM, authorised dealer and established auction procurement channels
- Detailed quotation and proforma invoice with agreed Incoterms® 2020, where applicable
Quality Assurance & Independent Inspection
Rigorous physical checks and mechanical audits conducted before any machinery or consignment leaves origin facilities
- Multi-point mechanical, hydraulic & diagnostic testing
- Video inspection & operational run reports for client sign-off
- Third-party audit facilitation (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Intertek)
Global Freight & Destination Customs Clearance
Seamless intermodal transport from the origin factory or depot directly to major African ports and inland dry ports.
Every stage of how it works follows standard UK export compliance and maritime procedures governed by the International Chamber of Commerce.
- Containerized (FCL/LCL), RoRo, or Breakbulk vessel booking
- Export and shipping documentation, including Bills of Lading, Certificates of Origin and preferential origin documentation where applicable.
