Suppliers
Information for organisations wishing to supply goods or services to The Bankers’ Magazine.
We are a small publication and our procurement requirements are correspondingly limited. We engage suppliers principally in the areas of technology infrastructure, data services, design, and professional services. We do not maintain a standing supplier registry, but we welcome enquiries from organisations that believe they can contribute meaningfully to our operations.
Unsolicited approaches: We do not respond to cold outreach by telephone. Supplier enquiries should be submitted in writing via the contact form, selecting Other as the subject and clearly identifying the nature of the proposed supply. Speculative pitches for advertising, sponsored content, or editorial placement will not receive a response.
Procurement Principles
We apply the following principles to all supplier relationships:
- Editorial independence. No supplier relationship confers any editorial influence, access, or benefit. We do not accept goods, services, or hospitality that could create a perception of partiality in our coverage.
- Fair terms. We pay promptly, on agreed terms. We do not impose extended payment windows on small suppliers. Standard payment terms are 30 days from invoice unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Modern slavery compliance. All suppliers are required to confirm compliance with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 or equivalent legislation applicable in their jurisdiction. See our Modern Slavery Statement.
- Data protection. Suppliers handling personal data on our behalf are required to execute appropriate data processing agreements in accordance with UK GDPR. We do not engage suppliers that cannot demonstrate adequate data protection practices.
- No facilitation of tax evasion. We comply with the Criminal Finances Act 2017 and do not engage suppliers that facilitate tax evasion in any form.
Supplier Enquiries
Organisations wishing to register an interest in supplying goods or services should write to us via the contact form. Please include a brief description of your organisation, the goods or services you propose to supply, and any relevant accreditations or references. We will retain your details and make contact if a relevant opportunity arises.
We are not able to guarantee a response to all supplier enquiries, particularly where the proposed supply falls outside our current requirements. We appreciate the understanding of prospective suppliers in this regard.
Invoice Submission
Existing suppliers should submit invoices by email to the address provided in their supplier agreement. Invoices must include a valid purchase order number to be processed. Queries relating to outstanding payments should be directed to the same address. Please do not use the general contact form for invoice queries.
