Please refer to purchase order Terms and Conditions here

Please find the updated Supplier Code of Conduct here

Should you have an existing written and signed agreement with Inchcape Retail relating to the relevant Goods or Services, then the terms of that agreement shall apply in precedence to the Purchase Order Terms and Conditions.

Q: Can I supply goods and/or services to Inchcape?
A: Inchcape welcomes enquiries from new suppliers, but ask that all new suppliers sign up to its Terms and Conditions and complete a number of onboarding and background checks, as well as review a number of additional documents that provide more detail on the day-to-day rules involved with supplying to Inchcape. In the event of a tender, Inchcape use Coupa’s e-Sourcing tools to issue RFI, RFQs etc.

Q: Where can I learn more about Inchcape?
A: You can find out more about Inchcape in the UK here and around the world here.

Q: I've already supplied goods and/or services directly to a specific site – will I get paid?
A: Inchcape employs a “no PO, no Pay” policy. Coupa is Inchcape's Purchase 2 Pay (P2P) platform, and all POs will be issued through this method. In some rare instances, the site may issue a local PO. We highly recommend not supplying anything to Inchcape without a PO first.

Q: Are we required to sign up to Coupa?
A: Yes and the good news is, its free. To learn more about Coupa, click here.

Q: Do you have approved or preferred suppliers?
A: An approved supplier is a company that has a vendor record in our Purchase Ledger – it does not mean that there is an agreed contract in place or a guarantee that you will receive any future orders. A preferred supplier has gone through the Procurement onboarding process and will be communicated across our retail network as a National Contract supplier.
