A food manufacturer is sourcing recyclable packaging for a new chilled product. Supplier 1 offers the lowest unit price, but may cause stoppages on the filling line. Supplier 2 performs well on the filling line but weakens the product’s sustainability claim. Supplier 3 supports the sustainability claim and performs acceptably, but has a higher price and longer implementation lead time. Production, marketing and finance are each pushing for a different supplier based on their own priorities. Based on the scenario, which action should procurement take before making the award recommendation?
