PURPOSE We would like to increase transparency and bring clarity to the way we work together.

The aim of this guide is to provide an explanation of every Deal and / or Charge that may apply to you as a supplier. We have created this as an interactive PDF, which is not printable. The guide covers:

• the definitions of “Deals” and “Charges” and the methodology for calculating Charges (including VAT).

• how we notify you of a Deal or Charge.

• how you can challenge any Deal or Charge.

WHAT ARE DEALS AND CHARGES?We classify funding that is agreed with you for a specified activity as a “Deal”. “Charges” are applied by us when there are conformance issues or when we have carried out a specified activity. The majority are processed through the Deals and Charges Webform.

You may have agreed to a Deal or Charge in your Supply Agreement Webform, or on an ad-hoc basis. Either way we will always notify you of the Deal or Charge before we take further action.

Please note that there are deals and charges on this guide that may not currently be applicable to you but could apply in the future.

Also note that Tesco will not penalise you, the supplier, for an event that is outside your control.

HELP AND SUPPORTFor further information, please contact your Tesco Buyer or visit www.tescosuppliertrainingessentials.com.

FULL LIST

Whilst the majority of Deals require explicit agreement, and for the majority of Charges we will assume acceptance after 30 days if you haven’t responded, there are some exceptions which are noted in this document.

For example:

Service Level is listed as a Charge, but processed as a Deal and therefore requires your explicit acceptance.

Missing Promotional Funding is listed as a Deal, but processed as a Charge and therefore we will assume acceptance after 30 days if you haven’t responded.KEY

HOW TO CHALLENGE THIS DEAL

HOW IS IT CALCULATED?

• You must actively accept the Deal – we will not imply your acceptance after 30 days.

• If you challenge the details of the Deal, then decline the Webform. Only your Buyer can edit / reissue the Webform. If you decline, please add your reasons for doing so in the comments box.

• Your Buyer will be informed by email that you have declined, and the reasons you gave for doing so.

• They will follow up with you to discuss, and to correct the details so you can accept the Deal.

• Your Buyer will send you the details of the Deal in a Deals and Charges Webform request. This will be an email with a link to the Webform. Please accept, challenge or decline the Deal as soon as possible after you receive notification.

• When you accept, the system will automatically email you with a PDF of our agreement. Please keep this for your records. The reference on your Webform will be the same that is quoted on your financial documents, to help you track the Deal.

Usually we agree a set rate card in the Supply Agreement Webform, which sets out standard weekly charges for the different spaces available. This is structured per product, or for the whole space.

Some categories may not have an agreed rate card. If there is no over-arching agreement in place, we can still negotiate with you an ad-hoc agreement. This must be agreed in writing.

Once agreement is in place, the Buyer will raise this via the Deals and Charges Webform and send to you for you to accept.

VAT is applicable at 23% of the Deal.

A Feature / Promotion Space Deal is used where we agree to put your products in a premium space in our stores (e.g. end of aisle) during a promotion, and you agree to pay for this.

You agree with your Buyer threshold targets at the beginning of the financial year for Overrider Deals. At the end of the Financial Year, your Buyer will confirm whether we met the targets and, if so, how much additional funding is due from you. For example, say you agree to give us 15c off every unit we sell after the first 100,000. At the end of the financial year, we sold 105,500 units so 5,500 x 15c = €825.

VAT follows the liability of the Product.

We provide regular forecasts and sales data, which help you to track how much funding will be payable at year end (if any). If you have concerns throughout the year, please contact your Buyer to discuss. You and your Buyer will discuss the total amount at an agreed review date at the end of the financial year.

Overrider Deals are used where you agree to provide a discount on goods provided if we meet pre-agreed targets. They are designed to encourage sales and margin growth.

The funding for Markdown Support Deals can be a fixed amount (e.g. €20,000 for Easter), or a specific amount agreed at every unit (e.g. 50c per Easter egg). These terms will be negotiated with your Buyer at the beginning of the event.

If the agreement is for a fixed amount, there is no calculation needed. If the agreement if for an amount per unit, your Buyer will calculate the sales of that unit and multiply the funding by the number of sales. For example, an agreed funding of 50c per unit x 38,000 units = €19,000 total funding.

VAT is applicable at 23% of the Deal.

Markdown / Exit Support Deals are used when you agree to fund stock that is sold on marked down prices. For example, after Easter all Easter eggs stock will be marked down since the event is over. This is how Tesco sell through the leftover stock, rather than wasting it.

Third Party Cost Price Equalisation Deals will vary on how they are structured, but focus on reconciling your cost price and the cost price we pay your third party.

For example, say you deliver your chocolate bars to us at 10c / unit. You also use a third party to supply 100,000 units to our petrol forecourts. The third party invoice us for 12c / unit. You agree to pay us the difference, i.e. 100,000 x 2c = €2000.

VAT follows the liability of the Product.

If there is no over-arching agreement in place, we can still negotiate with you an ad-hoc agreement. This must be agreed in writing. Once agreement is in place, the Buyer will raise this via the Deals and Charges Webform and send to you for you to accept.

Third Party Cost Price Equalisation Deals are used when you have chosen to supply some of your stock using a third party. The deal is designed to harmonise the cost prices for the same good delivered by you and the third party.

VAT follows the liability of the Product.

When the need for a reconciliation is identified, the buyer will confirm the amount overpaid to be recovered with the supplier, and ensure that the future cost price is correct.

A Cost Price Reconciliation is a one-off deal, agreed in advance with you. It may be used for an adjustment on stock held by us after a back-to-front movement or cost price reduction, or where you have invoiced an incorrect cost price and we agree to correct it.

The calculation methodology of Commodity Cost Price Overrider Deals can vary depending on the structure and complexity of the Deal agreed.

VAT follows the liability of the Product.

As just one example, say you make Tesco own-label cookies, and wheat is used to make flour. Flour is 10% of the cost price of the cookies. The cost price is €1 per unit, and wheat costs 10c of that. At the start of the year, wheat is €100 / tonne according to the LIFFE index.

At the end of the year, the average cost of wheat over the year was €90 / tonne. That means the wheat per unit was only 9c, so the overall cost price was 99c per unit. You then pay us 1c per unit. Say we sold 100,000 units in the year, 100,000 x 1c = €1,000 total funding.

Commodity Cost Price Overrider Deals track the price of key commodities used to make your product, and then we reconcile the price. It removes the need to repeatedly change cost prices because of frequently fluctuating commodities.

For example, if you make Tesco own-label cookies, wheat will be a key ingredient to make the flour used and contributes 10% of the cost price of the cookies. We can track the price of wheat over time, and then adjust the cookies cost price based on how much the wheat component objectively costs.

• You must actively accept the Charge – we will not imply your acceptance after 30 days.

• If you challenge either the Service Level agreement, or the details of the short delivery, then decline the Webform. Only the Buyer can edit / reissue the Webform. If you decline, please add your reasons for doing so in the comments box.

• Your Buyer will be informed by email that you have declined, and the reasons you gave for doing so.

• They will follow up with you to discuss, and to correct the details so you can accept the Charge.

• Your Buyer will send you the details of the Charge in a Deals and Charges Webform request. This will be an email with a link to the Webform. Please accept, challenge or decline the Charge as soon as possible after you receive notification.

• When you accept, the system will automatically email you with a PDF of our agreement. Please keep this for your records. The reference on your Webform will be the same that is quoted on your financial documents, to help you track the Charge.

A Service Level Charge is calculated using the agreed mechanism agreed in your Supply Agreement Webform. This is usually a set figure or percentage per case the delivery was short by. For example, say we agree a Service Level of 99% and we order 50 cases. If you delivered fewer than 49 cases, the Service Level Charge would apply. If we had agreed a Charge of €10 / case, and you delivered 45 cases, the Charge would be €50.

VAT is not applicable on this Charge.

If there is no over-arching agreement in place, we can still negotiate with you an ad-hoc agreement. This must be agreed in writing.

Once agreement is in place, the Buyer will raise this via the Deals and Charges Webform and send to you for you to accept.

SERVICE LEVEL CHARGE

Service Level Charges apply when the volume of goods you deliver to us does not meet the pre-agreed percentage of what we ordered, e.g. 98.5%. “Short” deliveries mean a lack of availability for customers and gaps on shelves. This Charge incentivises performance and compensates us for the impact on sales.

HOW IS IT CALCULATED?

• You must actively accept the Charge – we will not imply your acceptance after 30 days.

• If you challenge either the Waste Charge agreement, or the details of the wasted products, then decline the Webform. Only the Buyer can edit / reissue the Webform. If you decline, please add your reasons for doing so in the comments box.

• Your Buyer will be informed by email that you have declined, and the reasons you gave for doing so.

• They will follow up with you to discuss, and to correct the details so you can accept the Charge.

• Your Buyer will send you the details of the Charge in a Deals and Charges Webform request. This will be an email with a link to the Webform. Please accept, challenge or decline the Charge as soon as possible after you receive notification.

• When you accept, the system will automatically email you with a PDF of our agreement. Please keep this for your records. The reference on your Webform will be the same that is quoted on your financial documents, to help you track the Charge.

Waste Charges are agreed in the Supply Agreement Webform at a set amount per case. VAT is applicable at 13.5% of the Charge.

For example, say our specification for a cake product requires a minimum of 8 days code life (before the Best Before End or Use By date) when the product is delivered to depot. If you deliver 20 cases of cakes with only 5 days notice, we don’t have time to sell them all. If we then cannot sell 4 of those cases because they’re out of date, we’ll charge you the agreed amount per case

e.g. €10 per case, so here €40 +VAT.

If there is no over-arching agreement in place, we can still negotiate with you an ad-hoc agreement. This must be agreed in writing. Once agreement is in place, the Buyer will raise this via the Deals and Charges Webform and send to you for you to accept.

Waste Charges are applicable where we need to dispose of your unsold products. Waste Charges may be agreed for a number of scenarios, such as

• new products, where we are unable to accurately forecast demand and too much stock was ordered;

• promotions, where the promotion was not as successful as anticipated and too much stock was ordered;

• clearances, where goods have been delisted from a store;

• goods delivered with a shorter shelf life than the specification, which leads to a high percentage of out-of-date food going unsold.

The Emergency Product Withdrawal Charge is agreed in the Supply Agreement Webform.

It is designed to cover the cost to Tesco of physically withdrawing the products from stores (including admin at head office), and the impact on sales from lack of availability for customers. There is often also a serious reputational impact on Tesco, especially for own-label goods and product recalls. EPWs and product recalls cause a lot of inconvenience for customers, and lose us goodwill.

VAT is applicable at 23% of the Charge.

The compensatory element is usually in addition to the cost of goods withdrawn – if we cannot sell the goods, then you reimburse us what we paid.

If there is no over-arching agreement in place, we can still negotiate with you an ad-hoc agreement. This must be agreed in writing. Once agreement is in place, the Buyer will raise this via the Deals and Charges Webform and send to you for you to accept.

This Charge is applicable when we have to withdraw your products from our shelves due to contamination, and also when we need to recall products already bought by customers.

• You have 30 days from the date of the non-conformance report to challenge the Charge.

• To do so, please logon to the TIMS Inbound Standards system: https://b2btims.tesco.co.uk/NC/ and click to decline the Charge, giving your reasons for doing so.

• The Distribution Team will be informed by email that you have declined, and the reasons you gave for doing so. They will follow up with you to discuss, and to correct the details so you can accept the Charge.

• A non-conformance report sheet is sent via email to you. This details which delivery from you has not met Tesco Inbound Standard, and why (along with photographic evidence where available).

• Please accept, challenge or decline the Charge as soon as possible after you receive notification. To do so, logon to the TIMS Inbound Standards system: https://b2btims.tesco.co.uk/NC/. If you have any problems logging in, please contact the Inbound Standards team via [email protected].

The Charges are calculated in accordance with the non-conformance table of Charges as listed in the Tesco Inbound Standards manual.

You can find the table of charges in the appendix to this guide. The Charges are to recompense for the additional admin and re-work time required to resolve non-delivery conformance issues.

VAT is not applicable on this Charge.

These Charges are raised to recover costs incurred by our Distribution Centres where your delivery has not met Tesco’s in-bound delivery standards. Delivery non-conformances slow down the whole delivery process, as the delivery has to be manually re-worked and corrected which is time-intensive.

Our third party service-provider Axicon operate a Tesco helpdesk, to try to resolve issues with non-scanning barcodes. The Barcode non-scan Charge is a flat rate of €620 per incident per depot, to cover the service Axicon provide.

VAT is applicable at 23% of the Charge.

If there is no over-arching agreement in place, we can still negotiate with you an ad-hoc agreement. This must be agreed in writing.

Barcode non-scan charges apply when products arrive into depot, but the barcode at outer case level does not scan, or is not recognised. This slows down the whole delivery process, as it has to be manually checked and handled which is more time-intensive.

The Coupon Redemption Charge is calculated by multiplying the value of the coupon by the number of coupons received. For example, if you issued a coupon for €1 off your new product, and we received 5000 paper coupons in-store: €1*5000 = €5000.

No VAT is applicable on this Charge.

Because of the complexity and size of our operations, we redeem all coupons without requiring proof of purchase, and we don’t always check the validity of non-Tesco-specific coupons upon redemption.

This Charge is to reimburse us for supplier-funded coupons our customers redeem in-store.

• Once the promotion nomination is agreed with your buyer, they will confirm when it has been loaded into Tesco systems.

• If there are any details you wish to query please contact your Buyer as soon as possible, to resolve this before the promotion goes live in-store.

• This Charge will appear on the invoice with a unique promotion ID.

• If you wish to challenge any Promotional Funding Charges, please contact the Invoice Query Team with the details, on [email protected].

• They will locate evidence of your approval to the promotional funding in question. If we cannot find the approval, or it is invalid, we will issue a credit note.

• If you have agreed and we have the confirmation of that, we will share this with you and we won’t issue any credit note.

We calculate the giveaway value, and you agree to fund all or part of that value. For example, a product which was €5 is reduced to €3. You may have agreed either a set amount (€1 per unit) or a percentage (50% of the giveaway value).

We will agree the funding (% or €) per unit / case, via the Promotion nomination form. At this stage we are not seeking approval from you for the final amount to be debited.

VAT follows the liability of the Product.

Funding is agreed excluding VAT, and then invoiced by multiplying the funding by the number of transactions recorded during the promotional period. So if you agreed €1 per unit, and we sold 10,000 units, the total funding invoiced would be €10,000.

Simple Price Promotion Deals are where you agree to fund part or all of the difference between the previous full selling price in-store and the promotional price on a “cross out” offer. This difference is often called the “giveaway” value. This funding, in essence, is a short term cost price adjustment based on the sales of the product.

HOW TO CHALLENGE THIS PROMOTION

HOW IS IT CALCULATED?

• If you wish to challenge any Promotional Funding Charges, please contact the Invoice Query Team with the details, on [email protected].

• They will locate evidence of your approval to the promotional funding in question. If we cannot find the approval, or it is invalid, we will issue a credit note.

• If you have agreed and we have the confirmation of that, we will share this with you and we won’t issue any credit note.

• Once the promotion nomination is agreed with your Buyer, they will confirm when it has been loaded into Tesco systems.

• If there are any details you wish to query please contact your Buyer as soon as possible, to resolve this before the promotion goes live in-store.

• This Charge will appear on the invoice with a unique promotion ID.

We calculate the “giveaway” value, and you agree to fund all or part of that value. We will agree the funding (% or €) per “trigger sale” (sale applicable for the promotion), via the Promotion form. At this stage we are not seeking approval from you for the final amount to be debited.

VAT follows the liability of the Product.

Funding is agreed excluding VAT, and then invoiced by multiplying the funding by the number of transactions recorded during the promotional period.

For example, if a product sells at €1.50 is on a 2 for €2 offer, the giveaway value = €1. If the supplier contributes 50%, the funding equals 50c for every product sale.

At the end of the promotion, we will debit you the agreed funding per unit x by the number of sales at till. Using the same example, if 10,000 customers buy the product on the 2 for €2 deal = 10,000 product sales x 50c funding per sale = €5,000 total funding.

Threshold % Funded (Multisaver) Promotions are where you agree to fund part or all of the difference between the previous full selling price in store and the promotional price of a single product (the “giveaway” value) within a multi-product offer. This funding, in essence, is a short term cost price adjustment based on the sales of the product.

Promotional Funding Reconciliation Deals apply where there are Complex promotions where our systems cannot calculate the total funding.

• If you wish to challenge any cost price changes, please contact the Invoice Query Team with the details, on [email protected].

• They will locate your email approval to the cost price(s) in question. If we cannot find the approval, or it is invalid, we will issue a credit note.

• If you have agreed and we have the confirmation of that, we will share this with you and we won’t issue any credit note.

All cost price changes are agreed between you and Tesco (your Buyer). When we agree a new cost price, you will receive a system-generated notification email confirming the new cost price.

When we receive your invoice, we will check your cost price against the one held in our system. If the cost price we have recorded is less than the price shown on your invoice we will issue you with a Price Claim debit note.

We work out the difference per unit / case between your price and ours (your invoice cost minus our recorded cost).

We will then multiply this number by the quantity of cases / units delivered.

For example, your invoice says €10 / case but we have an agreement for €8 / case as part of a promotion. 100 cases were delivered. €10-€8 = a €2 / case difference, multiplied by 100 cases = €200. A total of €200 would then be set-off against your invoice.

VAT follows the liability of the Product.

We will issue a remittance note, which will detail the Price Claim debit note number and the amount deducted from your account.

Cost Price Claims are when you have over-invoiced us an incorrect cost price, and we claim the money back. The Cost Price Claim can be as a result of a cost price change executed through the following methods:

• The cost price change form (using the Adroit system)

• The promo nomination form (for promotional prices)

• If you choose not to conduct independent ethical audits when requested, or to resolve any issues identified, Tesco would need to understand the reasons and could take the decision not to continue the relationship.

• However, if you believe something is wrong with the Charge e.g. you’ve been charged twice then you should get in touch with your auditor to discuss and resolve.

You’ll be notified about the requirement for an audit or re-audit by Tesco. It is then your responsibility to agree Charges with a Tesco-approved audit body.

You agree the cost of the audits and any follow-ups with the audit body. In some cases the audit body may require payment in advance, before the audit. You pay the audit body directly.

Variations in the Charges are due to the cost of conducting an audit in each area – auditing a production site in Russia may be more expensive than one in England, if the process is more complex or other market conditions vary.

The audit body / auditors will determine what VAT is to be charged on their supplies.

Ethical Audit Charges are applicable when we require suppliers of Tesco brand products (including other Tesco owned brands such as F+F), loose produce, or suppliers of services to undertake independent ethical audits of their sites.

These ethical audits must be conducted by audit bodies and auditors recognised by Tesco. These audits must then be published and made visible to Tesco on the Tesco SEDEX system. All Charges are invoiced directly by the third party audit body.

HOW TO CHALLENGE THIS CHARGEHOW WILL YOU BE INFORMED OF THE DEAL / CHARGE?

HOW IS IT CALCULATED?

• If you choose not to become a SEDEX member, Tesco would need to understand the reasons and could take the decision not to continue the relationship.

• However, if you believe something is wrong with the Charge e.g. you’ve been charged twice then you should get in touch with SEDEX immediately to discuss and resolve.

You’ll be notified about the requirement for joining SEDEX by Tesco. You then pay SEDEX directly.

The Charge is set by SEDEX depending on the type of membership:

For Supplier (B) Members:

• From 1st June 2016 the annual fee, per site, will be £60.00 GBP / $95 USD for a basic membership fee, plus local taxes including VAT where applicable.

For Buyer (A) and Buyer / Supplier (AB) Members:

• This type of membership is dependent on the turnover of the company and is set by SEDEX and you as a supplier pay SEDEX directly.

Membership options*

Sedex has three membership types that reflect the different levels of functionality available in the Sedex system for: Buyers (A Members), Buyer / Suppliers (AB Members) and Suppliers (B Members).

The Ethical Online Database Charge is applicable when you join SEDEX (Supplier Ethical Data Exchange).

SEDEX is a not-for-profit ethical data exchange organisation, independent of Tesco. It enables suppliers to share ethical workplace data with their customers, including Tesco and many other organisations.

This Charge is essentially a membership fee to join SEDEX - an online ethical database organisation used by multiple retailers to manage the supply chain. If you are an own-label supplier, we require you to become a member (with very few exceptions).

HOW IS IT CALCULATED?

Passing the audit is a condition of supplying Tesco. However, if you feel something has gone wrong (e.g. you have been charged twice, or charged the wrong rate), please get in touch with the Supplier Helpline on 01707 918 777 or via email: [email protected] (operating times 9am-5pm Monday to Friday).

• You are notified of the audit requirements by our Technical team, before you start supplying Tesco.

• If the Charge is all-inclusive, you may be invoiced up to 3 months before the audit due date by the second party provider.

• If the Charge is a daily rate plus expenses, then you will be invoiced after the audit by the second party provider.

You are notified of the audit requirements by our Technical team, before you start supplying Tesco. For example in the UK / ROI, the Charge for Food audits is currently an all-inclusive flat rate of £750 per day +VAT.

The audit body / auditors will determine what VAT is to be charged on their supplies.

In some regions, the rate is a daily rate plus expenses. A full list can be found in the Site Audit Charges Matrix in the appendix, including VAT applicability.

The variation in the Charge is may be due to the cost of conducting an audit in each area – auditing a production site in Chile may be more expensive than one in South Africa, e.g. if the expertise is more scarce or other market conditions vary. We review our second party audit providers, to ensure we’re getting the best value for you and for us.

Site Audit Charges cover the cost of audits performed by second party audit service providers. Site audits are required by us, to ensure all supplying sites meet our technical standards. All sites must be audited and approved before you start supplying product, and regular audits occur for as long as you supply to ensure compliance with our high standards.

Approval can only be given following a physical inspection (audit) at your production premises. The second party auditor invoices you directly for the Site Audit Charge.
