Procurement
Agreed requirements converted into supplier orders under written terms, with availability re-checked at the point of order.
Supply chain & distribution
Fulfilment, logistics coordination and delivery arrangements
Supply chain and distribution support depends on supplier availability, logistics capacity, delivery location, access requirements, order quantities, product handling requirements, third-party courier terms, lead times, and agreed delivery arrangements.

Distribution functions
What supply chain support covers
Most delivery problems are avoidable and come down to the same causes: an access constraint nobody mentioned, a lead time nobody re-checked, or a substitution nobody approved.
Fulfilment
Orders progressed with suppliers through to despatch, with issues raised as they arise rather than after the fact.
Supplier communication
A single point of written communication with suppliers covering availability, lead times, documentation and despatch.
Delivery arrangements
Delivery planned against the delivery address, access constraints, vehicle suitability and receiving arrangements.
Logistics coordination
Coordination between suppliers, logistics providers and couriers, each of whom operates under their own terms.
Lead-time management
Supplier-issued lead times tracked against the programme, with changes reported as they are received.
Order status updates
Order progress shared as supplier information is received. There is no automated live tracking portal, and none is implied.
Substitutions and alternatives
Where an ordered product becomes unavailable, a substitution is raised for approval before it is progressed.
Documentation
Order records and supplier-issued technical documentation collated and shared for the project record.
Delivery and site access requirements
Access restrictions, offloading method, handling equipment and receiving hours reviewed before a delivery is booked.
Site delivery requirements
The site factors that decide what can actually be delivered
A delivery that works on paper can fail at the gate. Reviewing these factors before booking is the single most effective thing a customer can do to protect their programme.
Vehicle access
Road width, turning space, height restrictions, weight limits and permitted delivery vehicles.
Offloading method
Whether offloading is by crane, forklift, tail-lift or by hand, and who provides the equipment.
Receiving hours
Site opening hours, permitted delivery windows and any local restrictions that apply.
Site contact
A named person able to receive goods, check the delivery and report any discrepancy promptly.
Storage on site
Where materials will be placed, and whether protection from weather or damage is required.
Handling requirements
Long lengths, heavy packs, fragile items and awkward loads all change what is practical.
Substitution control
Alternatives are proposed, never imposed
A substitution that arrives unannounced costs more than the delay it was meant to avoid. Where an ordered product becomes unavailable, the alternative goes to the customer for approval first.
- Unavailability reported as soon as it is known, not at delivery.
- The comparable option described alongside the original specification.
- Any difference in size, finish, performance or documentation stated openly.
- Written approval obtained before the substitute is ordered.
Supply chain transparency
What is controllable, and what genuinely is not
Wholesale supply depends on third parties. Being clear about that from the start is more useful than promising certainty that no supplier can actually provide.
Product availability
Availability sits with suppliers and manufacturers and can change between enquiry, quotation and order. It is re-checked at the point of order rather than assumed.
Lead times
Lead times are supplier-issued indications. They are shared as given, including where they are long, variable or uncertain.
Substitutions
Where a specified product becomes unavailable, a substitution is raised for approval. Products are not swapped without agreement.
Alternatives
Comparable alternatives may be proposed alongside the specified product so you can weigh specification against programme.
Supplier documentation
Technical documentation is issued by the originating manufacturer or supplier. CoreWood Solutions Ltd passes it through; it does not author or certify it.
Technical information
Technical information is shared as received. It should be reviewed by appropriately qualified specialists before it is relied on.
Pricing
Pricing is confirmed in a written quotation and is subject to supplier pricing, quantity, specification and validity periods.
Delivery terms
Delivery is coordinated with suppliers, logistics providers and couriers, each operating under their own terms and timescales.
Product suitability
Suitability for a specific application depends on intended use, site conditions and project requirements, and is confirmed by the customer and their specialists.
Site delivery requirements
Access, vehicle restrictions, offloading, handling equipment and receiving hours materially affect what can be delivered and when.
Distribution terms
How delivery and fulfilment are confirmed
Material supply enquiry
Tell us where the materials need to go, and what the site can receive.
Send the delivery location, access constraints, offloading arrangements, receiving hours and required dates alongside the product requirement, and delivery will be planned around what is actually practical.
