SourceConnect RSA · Managed sourcing by HES
Stop searching. Start sourcing.
Tell us what your business needs. SourceConnect RSA searches the market, engages suitable suppliers, compares commercial options and gives you a clearer basis for the final buying decision. You remain in control of what gets purchased and from whom.
You need it. We source it.
Your outsourced sourcing desk.
Designed for businesses that need procurement support without adding permanent procurement headcount. From everyday requirements to difficult-to-source products, SourceConnect RSA gives one accountable route from brief to shortlist.
Simple customer journeyOne brief comes in. The requirement is clarified, taken to market, compared and returned in a manageable form.
How SourceConnect RSA works.
The platform is not positioned as another supplier directory. It is a managed sourcing service. The client explains the need, SourceConnect RSA does the structured market work, and the client retains the final commercial decision.
Clarify
We refine the requirement so the market receives a commercially usable brief rather than an ambiguous enquiry.
Source
We identify and engage suitable suppliers locally, nationally or internationally where appropriate.
Compare
We compare relevant factors such as price, specification, lead time, availability, warranty and delivery practicality.
Decide
You receive a shortlist or commercial recommendation and retain approval of the supplier and final purchase.
What the customer buysThe value proposition is professional sourcing capacity, not access to a search box.
Less supplier chasing. Better buying visibility.
SourceConnect RSA is sold against the cost of management time, weak market visibility and avoidable purchasing risk. It gives SMEs and project teams access to sourcing methodology without requiring a full-time procurement appointment.
Time saved
Reduce hours spent searching online, phoning suppliers and following up repeatedly for comparable quotations.
Procurement discipline
Requirements, supplier options and commercial information are approached through a structured sourcing process.
Market comparison
See more than the first quotation received and understand the trade-offs between price, quality, lead time and service.
Client approval
SourceConnect RSA supports the decision. The client retains control of supplier selection and purchasing approval.
Commercial structureThree routes keep small requests, recurring sourcing and larger projects commercially separate.
Choose the level of sourcing support you need.
The Business package is the core recurring offer. Once-Off protects accessibility for occasional buyers, while Project prevents complex openings, refurbishments and multi-category programmes from being treated as a single standard request.
SourceConnect Once-Off
TBC per approved requirement
For a business that needs help with one specific sourcing requirement without a recurring subscription.
- Requirement review and clarification
- Managed market search
- Commercial comparison or shortlist
- Scope and fee agreed before work starts
SourceConnect Business
TBC / month
Professional managed sourcing for businesses that regularly need suppliers, products or commercial solutions.
- Up to five standard sourcing requests per monthly cycle
- Structured supplier search and engagement
- Quotation and commercial comparison support
- Request tracking and sourcing history
- Sixth request held for the next cycle or separately approved
SourceConnect Project
TBC project quotation
For openings, refurbishments, CAPEX, multi-category procurement, large tenders or assignments requiring deeper commercial management.
- Scope, workstreams and deliverables defined upfront
- Suitable for multi-category or multi-site requirements
- Can include deeper commercial evaluation and coordination
- Project fee, milestones and responsibilities agreed separately
Standard sourcing request: one reasonably defined product, service or sourcing category with a clear business requirement and practical delivery brief. A full hotel, restaurant, office or other opening; a refurbishment; a multi-category tender; complex import/export management; contract negotiation; or a substantial multi-site programme is not treated as one standard request. Where scope falls outside the Business package, the client is advised before additional work or fees are committed.
Best-fit customersThe strongest initial use case is a business where the person buying is not a dedicated procurement professional.
Built for businesses that need procurement capacity.
Typical users include independent hotels and guesthouses, restaurants, offices, property managers, schools, medical practices, SMEs, project businesses, franchisees and entrepreneurs opening or expanding operations.
Typical sourcing requests
- Hospitality equipment, OS&E, FF&E and operating supplies
- Office furniture, uniforms, packaging and promotional items
- Catering equipment and specialist operational products
- Construction-related products and project requirements
- Local, national and selected international sourcing where commercially appropriate
- Difficult-to-source or unfamiliar product categories
What we do not promise
- We do not promise that the cheapest quotation is automatically the best option.
- We do not guarantee supplier availability, performance or final delivery unless expressly contracted to do so.
- We do not commit client expenditure or appoint a supplier without the client’s approval.
- We do not silently expand scope. Material additional work is identified and agreed first.
- Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the purchasing contract remains between the client and the chosen supplier.
Commercial guardrailsClear scope and approval controls protect the customer, SourceConnect RSA and the underlying HES operating entity.
Professional sourcing with clear accountability.
SourceConnect RSA aims to identify competitive, commercially appropriate sourcing options based on the client’s requirement. Supplier awards, expenditure commitments and material commercial decisions remain human-authorised.
Scope first
Ambiguous or materially expanded requirements are clarified before sourcing continues. Larger work moves to a project scope rather than eroding the standard package.
Client authorisation
The client approves the supplier and purchasing decision. SourceConnect RSA provides sourcing support and commercial information, not uncontrolled buying authority.
Auditability
Requests, supplier responses, comparisons and key decisions should be retained as part of the platform record as the digital workflow matures.
Tell us what you need. We will source the market.
Send the requirement, quantity, specification, delivery location and required date. If you are unsure which package fits, we will classify the scope before any chargeable work is committed.
