Why should Principals or Purchasers use the SQS to qualify Suppliers?

The SQS has been developed to reduce time and costs associated with managing Suppliers and Subcontractors through a pre-qualification process.
 

• Supplier information is accessible in real time.
• Information can be accessed from multiple sites by multiple users provided they have an Internet connection.
• It is designed to manage the qualification of potential, new and existing Suppliers.
• It is designed to reduce the time taken by Purchasers to evaluate tenders by enabling an earlier assessment of supply data at a separate qualification phase.
• It is designed to cater for small, large or multiple projects managed by the Purchaser from multiple locations.
• The SQS groups supply data into specific categories to assist in the Purchasers assessment and decision making process.

• It assists the Purchaser in sourcing Goods and Services in the open market and comparing Tenderers/Suppliers lists.
• The Purchaser can quickly assign Procurement Work Packages to their project with the SQS.
• It allows for project specific commodity lists (Goods and Services) to be populated by the Purchaser within the SQS Supply Manager.
• It maintains a grading (or regrading) for each qualified Supplier based on their performance.
• It allows for the easy retrieval of valuable supplier data which assists the Purchaser to make commercial astute buying decisions.
