Dubai-headquartered Transguard Group has been named recipient of the Best Supplier Relationship Management Award at the annual Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS) Middle East Awards.

At a gala awards ceremony held recently in Abu Dhabi, Transguard saw off stiff competition from across the region to secure the highly coveted prize, which recognises excellence and innovation in the supplier-purchaser relationship.

Transguard's entry highlighted its partnership with employee work-wear provider Dream Uniforms, with the two organisations required to demonstrate how they work together and the tangible benefits that their relationship brings to the table in terms of innovative practices and new product development.

Commenting on the award, John Nolan, Managing Director, Transguard, said: "We take our supplier relationships extremely seriously and actively seek to establish long term partnerships that enable us to implement best practice solutions to drive multiple efficiencies for both parties; and our working relationship with Dream Uniforms is a fantastic example of how this all comes together."

"The winning combination of product rationalisation and range reduction was achieved through the application of vendor managed inventory, just-in-time availability, the use of uniform catalogues and end user self-service ordering," he explained, adding: "This eliminated many manual processes for both parties and because Dream Uniforms actively manage our stocks from their premises, the need for our self-storage facilities virtually diminished."
