Bulk & Custom B2B Requirements
Structured arrangements defined around a counterparty's specification and procedure
Some counterparties require an arrangement rather than a product: a defined specification, a repeatable verification procedure, agreed documentation and a logistics route that suits their operation.
- Basis
- Defined by counterparty specification
- Scope
- Agreed in writing before commitment
- Verification
- Procedure fixed as part of the arrangement
- Review
- Reassessed as circumstances change
What the product is
A structured requirement is scoped before it is priced or committed. Specification, verification method, documentation set, destination and timing are established first, because each of them affects whether the arrangement is workable at all.
This category exists for counterparties whose procedures are fixed on their side and who need to know whether those procedures can be met before discussing anything commercial.
Purity and fineness considerations
Required fineness is treated as a specification to be met and evidenced, not as a general claim. Where a requirement cannot be met, that is stated rather than accommodated with vague wording.
Weight considerations
Quantities, tolerances and the points at which weight is verified are defined as part of the arrangement so that both parties measure against the same reference.
Verification requirements
- Verification procedure agreed at the outset, including who performs it, where and against what standard.
- Provision for independent verification where the counterparty's procedure requires it.
- Defined handling of discrepancies.
Documentation
- Corporate and onboarding documentation for both parties.
- Product and verification records for each delivery.
- Transaction documentation setting out responsibilities.
- Logistics and compliance records retained for the arrangement.
Refining considerations
Where refining to a particular specification forms part of the arrangement, the facility involved and its role are identified. Third-party facilities are described as such.
Logistics considerations
Routing, handling, insurance and documentation are planned as part of the arrangement rather than resolved per shipment, and remain subject to applicable law and available service arrangements.
Who this may be relevant to
- Counterparties with fixed internal procedures
- Organisations planning repeat rather than one-off engagement
- Buyers whose destination or documentation requirements need assessment before commitment
How enquiries are handled
Enquiries should describe the specification, the verification procedure required, the destination and the documentation standard expected. We will confirm what can be supported before any commercial discussion begins.
Commercial terms are discussed directly with qualified counterparties and depend on product specifications, transaction structure, documentation, logistics and other relevant requirements. No prices, fees or indicative values are published on this website.
Discuss this requirement
Send your specification, destination, verification preference and documentation requirements, and we will confirm what can be supported.
