MT (Motor Transport)

Motor transport (MT) in procurement refers to the task of transporting goods or materials, usually by motor vehicle. This includes a wide range of vehicles from commercial trucks to light vans, tractors, trailers, and trains. The purpose of MT is to ensure that goods and materials are safely delivered to their destination in a timely manner. To ensure efficient and cost-effective transportation of goods, it is essential to implement an effective MT procurement strategy. This requires identifying the most suitable type of transport based on budget, as well as establishing criteria for shortlisted vendors, negotiating contracts, and monitoring the performance of suppliers. A well-managed MT procurement process can ensure the safe and successful delivery of goods.
