Supermarkets Reintroducing Charges Over Breaches in Delivery Standards

Supermarkets to Reintroduce Charges Over Breaches in Delivery Standards

A recent article published in The Grocer has announced the intentions of one high-end supermarket chain to reintroduce penalty charges for suppliers that breach their delivery standards – and other supermarkets are likely to follow by reintroducing those same charges. These standards are commonplace in the industry and play a vital role in safeguarding product availability, quality, and safety. During the Covid pandemic and its aftermath, many supermarkets suspended their penalties as it was important for everyone to support the industry whilst suppliers worked to meet demand.

As we move into 2024, supermarkets want to end the uncertainty caused by standard violations, including issues with late deliveries, improperly documented shipments, and short minimum life of receipt (MLOR). As a result, this particular supermarket has chosen to introduce penalty charges, with others likely to follow suit.

“We are confident the charges we are reintroducing will be fair and proportionate,” said a spokesperson on behalf of the supermarket. “But we have an honest and open relationship with our suppliers who are encouraged to raise any concerns.”

For suppliers across the country, this change in policy could be a concern. However, with support from our team at Dawsongroup TCS, the required standards can easily be met.
