A number of Irish Utility and Public Sector Purchasing Organisations currently use an on-line supplier management system, to source current and potential suppliers, service providers and contactors for all levels of procurement.
Known as Supply-Line this efficient tool offers significant savings on time and resources when compared with traditional practices.
Supply-Line has been used extensively by Irish purchasing bodies (since its establishment in 1998) to meet their needs in awarding supplies, services and works contracts valued above €50,000. As a result of its success, in providing a solution for these contracts, the system has been enhanced to provide a method for the management of all purchases irrespective of value.
The system allows Purchasing Organisations to make appropriate searches using a proven system to source suppliers for procurements of all values. Information required from suppliers which the Purchasing Organisation can view include:
- General Contact Details
- Legal Status
- Financial Returns
- Quality Assurance Systems
- Taxation
- Insurance
- Health/Safety and Environmental
- Previous Experience.
Information enhanced through additional features:
- eQual
- Equifax Financial
- Attachments of key Documents.
