About Halfords
Halfords is the UK’s leading provider of motoring and cycling products and services for consumers and businesses. We serve customers through our nationwide network of retail stores and garages, mobile expert vans and digital channels, including halfords.com and tredz.co.uk, with options for store collection and direct home delivery. We also support a growing B2B operation, including fleet servicing and maintenance, Trade Card, Cycle2Work, Commercial Fleet Services and Avayler SaaS businesses.
Partnering to deliver for our customers
Supplier partnerships help Halfords access the products, services, expertise and innovation that support our customer proposition and day-to-day operations. Whether supplying products for resale or goods and services that support our business operations, we look to work with suppliers who bring capability, resilience, innovation and strong commercial delivery. Through strong and well-managed relationships, our suppliers help equip more than 12,500 colleagues to serve over 20 million customers each year. We expect suppliers to support responsible business standards, including ethical trading, environmental stewardship, responsible sourcing, human rights, and safe and fair working practices across the supply chain.
A Diverse Supply Chain
We work with suppliers across two distinct areas of our business: Goods for Resale (“GFR”) and Goods and Services Not for Resale (“GNFR”).
Goods for Resale
Goods for Resale (“GFR”) covers the products Halfords sells to customers through our retail, garage, mobile and digital channels. Our GFR suppliers support our motoring and cycling ranges and include national and international suppliers. We source products directly and indirectly through established routes across Europe, Asia and other global markets. These relationships are supported by our dedicated Halfords Global Sourcing team, with colleagues based in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Shanghai and the UK, alongside our near-sourcing capability for European supply.
Goods and Services Not for Resale
Goods and Services Not for Resale (“GNFR”) covers the goods and services Halfords buys to operate, support and develop the business. This includes key spend categories such as Technology, Logistics, Marketing, Property, Corporate and Professional Services. GNFR sourcing is managed through a centralised Group Procurement function with category expertise and structured procurement processes designed to assess supplier capability, capacity, quality, value and fit with Halfords’ requirements.
Responsible Business & Standards
We also expect suppliers to share our commitment to responsible business and to meet the ethical, environmental, social, operational, commercial and compliance standards expected across Halfords. This includes supporting responsible sourcing, fair labour practices, supply chain transparency, environmental improvement and continuous improvement in the way goods and services are delivered.
All supplier opportunities are subject to Halfords’ sourcing and onboarding requirements. This may include a competitive tender or RFX process, assessment of capability, capacity, quality and value, and completion of appropriate due diligence checks before any supplier can work with Halfords. These checks may include review of ethical trading, modern slavery, sustainability, data protection, health and safety, financial standing and other relevant risk areas, depending on the goods or services being supplied.
Suppliers can find our Supplier Code of Conduct, together with our standard terms for GFR and GNFR suppliers, below. Organisations interested in future supplier opportunities should contact the relevant team using the details provided.
