The need to demonstrate value for money is central to our procurement strategy.
To achieve this we need the full support of our suppliers. We rely on our supplier network for excellence in the delivery of property works, goods and services throughout our organisation and to our customers. We constantly seek to improve and expect our suppliers to play a major part in this process, sharing our goal of excellent customer service.
Supplier selection is based on overall value for money and in accordance with all applicable legislative requirements. We achieve this by encouraging competition, providing an equal opportunity to secure our business and by behaving in a professional and ethical way. Whilst price is important, we will always consider quality, reliability, safety, security, design, timely delivery, maintenance and after sales support for example before arriving at a decision which is the most economically advantageous to Anchor.
Potential suppliers must demonstrate their financial, commercial and technical capability to fully meet our contractual requirements. We also look for a clear demonstration of commitment to equal opportunities in employment; training of staff; environmental issues; data security and safe systems of working.
These pages outline Anchor’s procurement requirements and the way in which you can be considered to become an approved supplier to Anchor. As part of our continued commitment to efficiency, sustainability and openness, all our tenders are carried out electronically using the Anchor e-tendering portal.
Registering is quick and simple and will allow you to receive an automated email alert when a relevant tender is published.
Where the estimated value of aggregated contractual spend is expected to exceed the relevant European Union (EU) financial threshold, we advertise the opportunity in the Official Journal of The European Union (OJEU).
Please use these pages to find out more about becoming an Anchor supplier, the tendering and qualification process and the terms and conditions under which we operate.
