Process overview

How the mandate runs

Sourcing at Bidii is a controlled sequence: qualify the manufacturer, verify the product against East African standards, model the landed cost, then contract on terms that protect both supplier margin and market price integrity.

01
Vendor identification & vetting
Factory audits, certification review, capacity checks and reference verification before a single purchase order is raised.
02
Product & standards conformity
Specification review against KEBS, EAC and destination-market standards, with pre-export conformity sequencing.
03
Landed cost modelling
Duty, levy, freight, clearance and corridor storage modelled per SKU before pricing is committed.
04
Contracting & IP protection
Distribution agreements, territory definition, trademark registration support and grey-market controls.
