Sourcing Services for Vendors and Contractors in Africa

Total Secure Export provides sourcing services for vendors and contractors supplying projects in Africa. You have a contract and a specification to meet. We find the suppliers, run the RFQ, ship the goods with full export documents and deliver them to your site. We have sourced equipment and materials for projects since 2011, working from offices in the UAE and Equatorial Guinea.

Our Clients

Who Uses Our Sourcing Services .

A supply contract in another country brings work that has nothing to do with your product: finding suppliers who meet the spec, preparing export documents and getting the goods into a country where you have no company. We take that work on for four types of client.

Vendors and Manufacturers

Companies with a supply contract in a country where they have no local team.

EPC Contractors

Contractors and subcontractors who need equipment and materials delivered to site.

Embassies and NGOs

Embassies, NGOs and donor-funded projects buying to a fixed specification and budget.

Tender Bidders

Companies preparing a tender bid that needs firm supplier prices and lead times.

Our Services

What We Offer .

Our project procurement services cover sourcing, export and delivery. One team runs all three, so you have one point of contact from RFQ to site.

Supplier Sourcing to Specification

We find manufacturers and distributors who can meet your technical specification, standards and quantities. Before a supplier goes into the quote, we check that the product matches the spec, that it can be exported to your country and that the lead time fits your schedule.

RFQ and Supplier Comparison

We send the RFQ to several suppliers and compare their offers line by line: price, lead time, warranty, origin and shipping terms. You get one quote from us, with the Incoterm stated and the origin of every item. If a lead time puts your delivery date at risk, the quote says so.

Export Documents and Shipping

Commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin and any export licences the goods need are ready before the cargo leaves. We book the shipment, track it to the port of arrival and send you the shipping documents as they are issued.

Import and Delivery to Site

In Equatorial Guinea our own company in Malabo imports the goods, clears customs and delivers them to your site. In other countries we arrange clearance and delivery with local partners, as we did in Kenya.

Process

How Our Sourcing Process Works

01

Send Your Specification

Share the technical specification or bill of quantities, the delivery site and the date the goods must arrive. A tender document works as a starting point.

02

Supplier Search and RFQ

We shortlist suppliers that can meet your requirements and export to your country, then send them the RFQ.

03

Quote

You receive one quote with prices, lead times, origin and the Incoterm. If a supplier offers an equivalent product, it is listed separately so you can compare.

04

Order

Once you confirm, we place the order and agree the specification, quantities and dispatch date with the supplier in writing.

05

Export

We prepare the export documents and ship the cargo.

06

Delivery to Site

The goods are cleared on arrival and delivered to your site. We also install and commission equipment on site when your contract requires it.

Product Range

What We Source for Projects .

FAQ

Sourcing Services FAQ .

It takes the buying work off your team. A sourcing partner finds suppliers who can meet your specification, collects and compares their offers and manages the order through to delivery. For projects in Africa this also covers export documents and import into the destination country.

The specification or bill of quantities, quantities per item, the delivery address, the required delivery date and any standards or certifications the goods must meet. For a tender, send the tender documents and the submission deadline.

Worldwide. We work with manufacturers and distributors in Europe, the Gulf, Turkey and Asia, and choose the origin by specification, price and lead time. If your documents name a brand or country of origin, we source to it.

Yes. Our registered company in Malabo acts as importer of record, clears customs and delivers the goods to your site. You do not need to set up a local entity.

Yes. We provide supplier prices, lead times and origin details for your bid, and supply the goods if the contract is awarded.

Sourcing is finding and qualifying suppliers and getting their prices. Procurement is the wider process that follows: ordering, payment, shipping and delivery. On project supply we do both, so the supplier we quote is the one we buy from and ship.

No. Sourcing covers finding and buying the goods. Importer of record covers the legal import into the country. If you already have the goods and only need them imported into Equatorial Guinea, our importer of record service handles that on its own.
