1.The holder states his record plainly. I have run procurement offices for 14 years, currently for a supplier network of 212 firms and an annual spend of £46 million. Last year my team cut average tender turnaround from 31 days to 19. I keep a card index of every supplier who has ever missed a delivery date, and I consult it.
2.Each coupon on Page 4 may be clipped once per engagement. Coupons are surrendered to the employer on appointment and are non-transferable.
3.Detachment of any coupon without an interview constitutes an offence under the Hiring Regulations, 1944.
