CERTIFICATION AND SELECTION
OF SUPPLIERS
For suppliers who collaborate with PRISA transversely,
that is, with more than one business unit,
or for those that provide a high volume of goods
or services, it is a prerequisite that they be duly
approved and certified and added to our approved
supplier list.
This approval process is carried out through the
Electronic Procurement Platform – found on the
Corporate website. This is the channel that manages
the Group’s relationships with its collaborators,
facilitates the processes of registration
and certification, and carries out any subsequent
monitoring and evaluation.
During 2017, PRISA did business with 39,048 suppliers,
of whom 3,611 are certified suppliers of the
Group. 148 new suppliers were duly approved and
incorporated over the year.
Once a supplier has entered into the negotiation
process, the final selection is based on four criteria:
• Quality of goods / service offered.
• Suitability or appropriateness of the service.
• Cost of goods / service offered.
• Certification of compliance with PRISA’s Sustainability
Policy.
