Mandatory vendor evaluation for improving vendor management

Group 1 min read

Dear Colleagues,

At BESIX Construction, we've established clear priorities for 2024, recognizing the critical impact vendors have on all aspects of our operations:

  • Right People: Efficient vendors reduce the need for extensive management oversight.
  • Commitment to Excellence: High-performing vendors offer value engineering ideas, deliver on time, meet quality standards, and stay within budget.
  • Correct Price: Reliable vendors help us determine correct costs through clear and compliant offers.
  • Contract Management: Supportive vendors assist us in managing contracts with our clients, ensuring mutually beneficial outcomes.
As a Project Manager, project team member, or Head of Business Enabler, your feedback on vendor performance is crucial.

Evaluating our vendors during and at the conclusion of their engagements is crucial for boosting our capabilities and achieving sustainable operational excellence. Sharing your evaluations not only helps your colleagues but also advances our company's goals.

The BESIX IMs Procurement process underscores the necessity of these evaluations, which should be conducted at the end of each project or activity and at least once a year for all key vendors. Reminder: a key vendor is a vendor who accounts for 80% of project/department expenses.

Vendors are assessed based on eight criteria, with a particular focus on quality, service level, EHS compliance, and contract management.

To access vendor evaluations, please use one of the following channels:

If you need any assistance with evaluations, please feel free to contact the Procurement team or your QHSE representative.

Thank you for your collaboration.

Jan Van Steirteghem, COO Construction
Sylvain Sainton, CPO
Alexis Laroche, Corporate QHSE Director
