Supply chain management
Ontario Power Generation (OPG) expects our suppliers to demonstrate business integrity that aligns with our values of safety, integrity, excellence, and people and citizenship. We collaborate with suppliers who have been pre-qualified, have the requisite expertise to support OPG’s business strategies, and who comply with the Supplier Code of Conduct. To learn more, see our Supplier Code of Conduct Frequently Asked Questions towards the bottom of our Suppliers page.
The Supply Chain supports OPG’s vision to consistently provide the material and services required by the business at the right time for the best value. We are committed to developing strategic sourcing initiatives with preferred suppliers to achieve our goals.
It’s important to note that not all vendors qualify. OPG's procurement is largely restricted to pre-qualified vendors, based on needed expertise for a particular type of opportunity, and may not be open to all vendors who have successfully completed a vendor application with OPG.
Electronic business collaborations
E-business is a key component in the procure-to-pay process. As part of our strategy, we are pursuing all opportunities with suppliers to bring efficiencies to our mutual business process and enable greater transactional improvements.
OPG contracted Ariba to facilitate and to provide supplier capability on behalf of OPG. Suppliers of any size or technical competency can conduct business with OPG via Ariba.
This platform provides OPG a flexible, internet-based framework for conducting electronic document exchange for purchase orders, advanced shipment notifications and invoice transactions with preferred suppliers.
OPG’s Supply Chain uses a variety of tools in our processes. Both prospective and incumbent suppliers have an active role in online events and activities. Since many of these technologies may be new to our suppliers, there are automated, self-service help tutorials and documentation available to increase supplier proficiencies. This format provides suppliers with an easily accessible tool they can use at their convenience.
