functions <strong>of</strong> the media department <strong>of</strong> an online resource-supplying agency showed a<br />
significant similarity in their implementation. It led to the conclusion that many <strong>of</strong> the<br />
techniques and methods used in procurement logistics can be applied at an advertising<br />
agency, as well, e.g. in dealing with suppliers <strong>of</strong> information resources. According to<br />
Kappauf, Lauterbach and Koch (2011), “procurement logistics is a segment <strong>of</strong> logistics<br />
spanning business processes from goods procurement to the transport <strong>of</strong> materials to a<br />
production site or receiving storage location” (p. 59).<br />
Of no small importance among various functions <strong>of</strong> the media department is the<br />
function <strong>of</strong> supplier evaluation and selection. To develop a methodology for subsequent<br />
supplier evaluation and selection it should be referred to the previously identified<br />
features and principles <strong>of</strong> product and service promotion through the <strong>In</strong>ternet, which<br />
influence the process <strong>of</strong> the determination <strong>of</strong> the best source <strong>of</strong> supply <strong>of</strong> advertising<br />
space and time.<br />
By analogy with the procurement logistics activities, realization <strong>of</strong> the function <strong>of</strong><br />
supplier evaluation and selection is proposed to carry out in the following directions:<br />
receiving tenders for the supply <strong>of</strong> resources and the supplier evaluation and selection<br />
per se (Kappauf et al., 2011, p. 68).<br />
1. Receiving and evaluating tenders for the supply <strong>of</strong> resources. First <strong>of</strong> all, a<br />
company or an agency independently monitors the emergence <strong>of</strong> new<br />
advertising spaces. The result <strong>of</strong> this agency’s activity, as a rule, is represented in<br />
sustaining relevance <strong>of</strong> the advertising and partner database. Often information<br />
comes from the ad space owners themselves. Therefore, we can distinguish three<br />
directions to obtain information about suppliers: information scan to identify<br />
potential new sources <strong>of</strong> ad space supply; tracking changes to the current<br />
suppliers <strong>of</strong> ad space; reviewing new bids (tenders) from potential and existing<br />
suppliers.<br />
2. Supplier evaluation and selection. It is proposed to perform the complete<br />
supplier evaluation and selection in the following directions (where it is not<br />
required to carry out the comprehensive assessment in all these directions<br />
