GSCOP for suppliers

GSCOP for suppliers GSCOP (Groceries Supply Code of Practice) training for Suppliers - protect your rights when trading with the designated retailers in the UK. But why is this?

In 2015, research by the Grocery Code Adjudicator showed that well over 40% of direct suppliers to the 'designated retailers' did not have a written supply agreement, despite this being a key part of the GSCOP code regulations drawn up in 2001. The original enquiry into the Grocery Market deemed this as a vital part of the agreement between supplier and retailer because so many agreements are verb

al, across a number of meetings and phone calls, where there's no true clarity on what has been agreed. It's simple; do you know what GSCOP is? Do you know who the designated retailers are? Or which products the act covers? Click here to find out. The same 2015 research showed that 76% of suppliers had very little knowledge of the code. Is this you? Is this your company? The Buyers for the retailers have to be trained in the code, it is the law. But unless you too know the ins and outs of GSCOP the playing field is far from level. Now is the time to get your people trained! This group is representing courses offered for suppliers to designated retailers by Stuart Sadler, formerly a project manager in senior positions within Tesco Group.
