 Good News Story - Forklift Truck Project – Huge Savings !   Our client had a fleet of Forklift Trucks that had been in operation for 10 years and felt that it would be prudent to review their fleet.    They instructed Synergy to review their Forklift Truck requirements with a view to replacing the current vehicles and purchase new ones (Counterbalance and Reach).     The client provided Synergy with their previous purchase information and a desired specification for the new vehicles.  Following discussion with the client it was decided the project objectives were to obtain the most cost-effective price for the vehicles and enhance the current service levels.    An Invitation to Tender (ITT) document was created. The tender included an overview of the client’s requirements relating to the different types of vehicles. The ITT was issued to five different suppliers including the incumbent supplier.    Once all the suppliers had responded, Synergy appointed one of its senior analysts to analyse and compare each proposal. This process was carried out to ensure that each product had been quoted on a ‘like for like basis’ for fairness and transparency purposes.     Based upon the findings of the tender exercise, Synergy made a recommendation the client accept and implement a solution saving them over £80,000 plus enhanced service levels.
