As part of our Vendor engagements, we expect our people and all third parties engaged to act in a lawfully, ethically, and socially responsible manner, in accordance with our Code of Conduct.
Becoming a CPP Vendor
CPP carefully considers various due diligence aspects with all new Vendors to ensure that the parties involved meet all relevant partnership criteria, including, but not limited to:
If you are interested in partnering with us, please register your interest by completing the Vendor Expression of Interest Form and submitting it to the CPP Procurement Team for consideration.
Through close coordination with the relevant internal business units, CPP Procurement assesses the viability of new Vendors based on the businesses and forecasted needs. It’s important to note that the submission of this Vendor Expression of Interest Form does not automatically prequalify new vendors for immediate use. Bespoke due diligence conforming to the Project-specific service or supply offering will also be conducted at the time of Project Vendor engagement.
Strategic Sourcing
CPP conducts various Project-specific and strategic sourcing activities (“RFx Events”), in the form of ‘Request for Quotations’ (“RFQ”), ‘Request for Tender’ (“RFT”), or ‘Request for Proposals’ (“RFP”), in segmented timings commensurate with our clients project and forecast needs.
Work with CPP
Depending on the risk and value associated with the engagements, and in accordance with stringent internal operating procedures, we will select contractual terms and conditions that adequately cover both parties during the purchasing process. If necessary, CPP has a wide range of template subcontracts that reflect our standard purchasing requirements.
All Vendors participating in RFx Events must comply with the RFx Terms and Conditions, which will be issued to the elected Vendors for all sourcing activities.
Modern Slavery
Modern Slavery represents one of the world’s most important human rights issues that we face and global events including the recent pandemic and armed conflict, have compounded the issue. The construction industry is a high-risk sector due to large, diverse, and complex supply chains.
CPP acknowledges and understands the high risk nature of third party engagements in our industry and is closely working with major electrical equipment and construction partners to conduct supply chain mapping and understand and influence their policies and controls implemented to avoid and eliminate any perceived, potential or actual Modern Slavery breaches. We will also ensure that third party Subcontracts present evidence of mandatory Modern Slavery legislation criteria compliance.
CPP’s Modern Slavery actions and commitments are outlined in section 5 of the Modern Slavery Statement.
Reconciliation Australia
As members of both city and regional communities, it is crucial for CPP to foster strong relationships with First Nations communities.
CPP’s previous Reflective Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) has allowed us to foster relationships and build further understanding and awareness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (Indigenous) cultures to better reflect our community and service our stakeholders and customers.
Upon request, CPP can develop bespoke and comprehensive Indigenous Participation Plans for each project and client, which may reflect:
- Localised community, groups, and stakeholder engagement methodologies
- Supply chain collaboration and partnerships
- Employment and cultural capability and awareness
- Economic target achievement methodologies
CPP Procurement works closely with Indigenous engagement Consultants to further evolve the current RAP to reflect a new Indigenous Inclusion Framework. As part of our vendor engagements, we expect our people and all third parties engaged to act in a lawful, ethical, and socially responsible manner, in accordance with our Code of Conduct.
Sustainability
Quanta Services Incorporated (QSI) has developed a Sustainability Report reflective of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and post input from key stakeholders and a comprehensive materiality assessment, has set an effective ESG strategy and commitments to maximise impact.
Given the international footprint of QSI’s business operations, CPP Procurement is developing a CPP bespoke Social & Sustainable Procurement Framework commensurate with the Australian landscape, and will be available on this website once finalised and approved.
