CONTINENTAL PETROLEUM OPERATING LTD has introduced the principle of division of roles/responsibilities between the line management and procurement function in order to meet the requirement for good control. The line management is responsible for planning demand, allocating technical and operational expertise and approving suppliers recommended by the relevant procurement entity.

Only the procurement function is authorized to sign binding agreements with buyers on CONTINENTAL PETROLEUM OPERATING LTD’s behalf. The procurement function is responsible for proactive coordination, planning and execution of procurements on behalf of the line management.

Our role in concluding a sale can take one of two forms. When acting as the principal in the business we confirm the contract, take the credit risk, re-finance the project and invoice the buyer. When acting as agent, the supplier Invoice the buyer directly.

When acting as principals, we make a profit by including a small margin for ourselves between the sales price and the purchasing costs. When acting as agent we make a profit by way of a commission or fee from the supplier. The marketing service offered to the mill is, however, the same.
