Sample Supplier Letter (On Facility Letterhead)
Dear Supplier,
Enclosed is our request for proposal (or request for bid). As part of the RFP (or RFB) we are enclosing an Environmental Purchasing Questionnaire and request that you fill it out and return it with your proposal or bid.
As you may know, our facility has a commitment to our community to protect human health and the environment. One way of honoring that commitment is to use environmentally preferable products in the delivery of our services. Thus we have decided to include an environmental screen in our decision making process when we buy our products. We believe that the enclosed Environmental Purchasing Questionnaire helps us to select products that support patient care and protect the environment.
Also, we believe the questionnaire will give suppliers help in reviewing their products and processes and encourage the development of more environmentally preferable products.
Since future purchasing decisions will now incorporate environmental criteria, please send in your response when the FFP, RFB, or request for product information is returned.
Thank you for your cooperation in our efforts to improve the health of our community and the environment. Please call us if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
