Scenario 1 The Furniture Suppliers

You are the manager of a hotel in Uganda. Having put out a tender for new furniture, the choice has come down to two potential suppliers: Company A is a local company with 100 local employees. Company B is an international company with a sales office of 5 employees. Company A offers the furniture for 25,000 and Company B offers the furniture for 30,000. The imported furniture is the same in both cases making you suspect that Company A knows someone in customs. What do you do?

Issues to consider:

1. Local vs international suppliers: should your company support the local economy?
2. Will the decision have an impact on future purchases from other suppliers?
3. Will the decision have an impact on local staff / stakeholders?
4. Are there any company regulations regarding corruption or illegal practices?
5. There is a potential saving of 5,000 who will benefit from this?
