PROCUREMENT

Procurement Policy

Any business interested in supplying works, goods, or services to Tacora must demonstrate that it is qualified before it may be considered for a business opportunity. A pre-qualified supplier is a company that, in our opinion, is capable of delivering works, goods or services in accordance with Tacora’s schedule, meets our regulatory and industrial work quality standards and performs or provides works, goods or services at a competitive price and in accordance with fair industry standards.

Tacora supports the principles of first consideration and full and fair opportunity for suppliers located within their region of operations. First consideration is given to service providers and goods manufactured from within the province of Newfoundland and Labrador and the county of Finnmark, where those services and goods are competitive in terms of fair market price, quality and delivery. First consideration in implementing procurement opportunities will be given to pre-qualified suppliers located in Labrador and Kirkenes, followed by other pre-qualified suppliers located in the remainder of the province and county, respectfully. All suppliers have the opportunity to participate on a competitive basis in the supply of goods and services to Tacora’s operations.

Tacora is committed to providing business opportunities to women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities and people from visible minority groups, which are collectively referred to as “designated groups”. We promote and seek the use of local labour, suppliers, contractors and organizations majority owned by members of designated groups and encourage business development within the regions in which we operate to the extent that local suppliers can be competitive in areas of cost-effectiveness. Tacora promotes and encourages the successful involvement of companies from designated groups in the procurement process. Supporting this process, we encourage these companies to register and self-identify as part of the pre-qualification process.
