In einer an potenzielle Lieferanten eines Großunternehmens aus dem Bereich Grundstoffe gerichteten Ausschreibung steht:

XY’s product and service requirements are diverse. Through this initiative, XY’s intent is to select the supplier(s) whose services and products most closely fit our business goals, which are to decrease our operating expenses and achieve product savings while providing quality service to our internal customers.

We value unique and creative approaches to **materials procurement** and appreciate suppliers that offer innovative ideas to continually reduce costs. We anticipate competitive responses based on proposed approaches for continual cost reduction, low cost product sourcing and superior service.


‘Materials procurement’ wäre eigentlich ‚Materialbeschaffung’, ich bin aber der Meinung, dass hier ‚provision’, also etwas wie ‚Materialbereitstellung’ oder ‚Belieferung’ gemeint ist.

Danke für Meinungen und Übersetzungsvorschläge.
