StatoilHydro’s procurement process is based on competitive tendering and on the principles of transparency, non-discrimination and equal treatment of tenderers.
StatoilHydro develops, integrates and implements procurement strategies to achieve the best possible agreements for the group.
This is achieved through a category-based approach to goods and services, based on a coordinated control of demand, the global market situation and robust analyses in order to minimise risk in the execution phase.
The suppliers must be prequalified in order to compete for tenders.
Achilles Joint Qualification System (JQS) is used to prepare the list of tenderers.
Other prequalification methods are used in countries and areas where Achilles JQS does not have the required supplier information.
