Catalogues, Authorization & Samples
Catalogues, Manufacturer Authorization and Tender Samples
What We Do
Evidence That Supports Your Product Offer
Government bids ask for evidence about the offered product: manufacturer catalogues and brochures, authorization letters from the original manufacturer, and sometimes physical samples. These documents and samples connect the product you quote to the specification in the tender.
DNB coordinates catalogue information, manufacturer authorization letters, and tender samples through identified manufacturers. We help arrange international sample shipping, export documents, customs clearance and deadline management where manufacturers agree.
- Catalogues confirm the product model and published specification
- Manufacturer's Authorization Letters are coordinated where tenders require them
- Tender samples are arranged, shipped and delivered where applicable
- DNB verifies available source documentation from identified manufacturers
Our role: We support the supply side of procurement : product identification, manufacturer coordination, documentation and delivery. We are not a legal, financial or general procurement consultancy.
