Procurement
Procurement Procedures
Our procurement procedures involve:
- Treating suppliers fairly
- Selecting vendors based on value, performance and price
- Providing justifiable and transparent selection decisions
- Ensuring confidentiality of supplier information
- Risk management of our suppliers
- Not taking advantage of mistakes made by suppliers
This department is responsible for the thorough tracking of ordered materials for each phase of each project, which in turn is reflected through a weekly released tracking report until the materials are fully received at our shop. This report serves as a powerful tool for the fabrication planning as well as for the phase-wise tracking of the material across different projects.
We hope to activate sustainable procurement procedures in coming years. Our goal would be define to work with our suppliers and business partners to establish sound and sustainable procurement procedures, and take steps to ensure our suppliers and business partners adhere to the same principles as we do.
