To: Jim Hicza
Re: Selection of Supplier for Presses
My recommendation is to go in for a single source and choose the supplier that we have confidently have had a relationship with, without a problem, for over a decade now.
Major of Action plan:
• Choose JabaKing as the supplier of choice.
• Get an investment loan from Labour Central Credit Union @ 5.25% for next 10 years.
• Visit an operational facility using JabaKing’s presses.
• Procure presses from JabaKing with appropriate people assigned duties and with proper checks in place.
• Commission the presses with assistance from Jabaking.
• Evaluate maintenance for the first three warranty years and then budget accordingly for the next seven years.

Platinum has had a long-standing relationship with JabaKing, where the latter had helped the company out over a decade when no other supplier was ready to do business with the company. JabaKing had made it evident at that point in time that it was a favor that was expected to be returned.
Currently, due to the expansion and growth prospect, Platinum needs to decide which supplier / suppliers it will utilize to make a purchase of 5 additional presses for its operations in Winnipeg. It is very important that the company take a decision with immense due diligence, as the procurement / purchase entails long-term
