Is it permissible for me to speak with the purchasing manager at the garment factory where I work so that he buys clothing supplies from my friend, on the condition that my friend's price and quality are better, and to inform him of the purchase prices the factory deals with, in exchange for me receiving a commission from my friend, separate from the factory?

It appears that there is no harm in this matter, Allah willing, as long as it is the most suitable option for the buyer, and no harm results from it. There is no objection to taking commission from a friend, as it falls under the category of permissible brokerage, with its stipulated conditions.
