Procedure for Registration of New Supplier:
1. Potential Suppliers are given a Supplier Registration Form that will be sent to the vendor via email for submission with credentials.
2. Tema’s representatives from the Purchase / QAC / Projects department will visit the supplier’s premises for assessment. In the case of an overseas supplier where a factory visit is not possible, the recommendation is made based on the review of documents only. In the case of design subcontractors, the review is done by the Head of Design along with the Head of Purchase.
3. Based on recommendation ‘Trial Purchase Order’ is placed on the supplier & copy of such order is attached with the ‘Supplier Registration Form’.
4. If the supply performance against the trial purchase order is found satisfactory (documentary evidence i.e. GRR copy shall be attached) then the supplier’s name shall be included in the approved supplier list.
5. The above selection process is to be followed for ‘A’ category items only as listed above.
6. For ‘B’ category items, only step 1 is followed & a decision shall be taken by the Head of Purchase only based on available data & supplier name shall be included in the approved supplier list.
A list of approved suppliers is maintained. Category of items/services A and B will be mentioned against each supplier’s name in the approved suppliers list.
A review of the supplier performance for the ‘A’ category shall be carried out once every six months & for the ‘B’ category, the period shall be once a year.
All rejections against A and B category items shall be immediately noted in the ‘Rejection Register’ by respective purchasers & brought to the Head of Purchase notice. The Head of Purchase monitors the case to ensure quick replacement. In case, where supplier is unable to replace the materials as per end user’s requirement, the same are purchased from another party. In such cases, suitable compensation is recovered from earlier suppliers in consultation with the Head of Projects considering extra charges paid by end user, time & process loss.
