As a key 2021 Strategic Initiative RIKARD strives to be a central sustainable procurement resource for Public and Privates Sector and Non-Governmental Organs Globally.
RIKARD delivers high-quality, cost-effective goods and services safely and swiftly, even in the most challenging settings.
Why choose RIKARD to be your procurement resource?
Coordinated Reach
We deliver procurement services where local capacity is limited, such as in post disaster and peace building settings.
Focus on quality
While cost is always paramount, we never compromise on the quality of goods, works and services we procure.
RIKARD employs a number of different practices for assuring quality, including sourcing from suppliers who apply good manufacturing processes and quality assurance programmes. In addition, we employ a variety of quality assurance practices ourselves, including the inspection of goods and work in process.
Price Performance
With our global buying power, RIKARD enjoys considerable leverage with suppliers, passing cost savings on to partners.
An independent review of prices has shown that RIKARD achieves lower price levels than similar organizations for certain common goods.
Disaster response and emergency situations
We use our procurement expertise, considerable post-disaster experience and knowledge of markets in challenging environments to help our partners rapidly mobilize their relief and recovery operations.
In-country logistics
To facilitate in-country logistics and ensure the efficient, effective storage and flow of supplies from the port of entry to the final recipient, RIKARD can establish new distribution and transport systems and support existing ones.
