In the processes conducted by Supply Chain, an EDP adopts procedures for receiving and opening proposals that guarantee identity, competition rates and confidentiality, the values of the amounts involved and the characteristics of the market.
The flow below presents the stages of the relationship between EDP and the supplier. Processes may vary according to the type and criticality of each supplier. The relationship steps are following below.
Registration (and registration update), Prospecting and Qualification of Suppliers
In the EDP Group, the corporate supplier registration system Go Supply works as a support for research and selection of suppliers. For this reason, it is important that the supplier keeps his data always updated. The registration stage is mandatory for approving contracts and closing contracts, once registered, your company will be able to supply any company of the EDP Brasil Group.
For highly complex processes and values, we can perform financial and technical qualification of suppliers, so we request that at the time of registration insert the most recent financial statements.
Request and submission of proposals
In this step, requests for information (RFIs), price quotes (RFQs) and requests for proposals (RFPs) are sent through the SINERGIE Portal. It is in this environment that suppliers must clarify doubts and submit their proposals is also the time for companies to reiterate that they agree with the contractual requirements.
Analysis of proposals and negotiation
The opening and analysis of the proposals will take place under the conditions provided for in the notice. At this stage, EDP can return with doubts to the participants and can also promote one or more rounds of negotiations seeking better supply conditions.
Attention points:

- contractual adjustment terms;
- contractual insurance and guarantees
Contract approval and formalization
After the negotiation, the hiring goes through internal approval processes and the signatures of the draft previously accepted in the previous step are collected.
Important for the speed of the contractual signature process that the supplier has an electronic signature.
Among the benefits of the digital signature of the contract, the main one is the reduction of bureaucracy in processes, as it does not require signature recognition and avoids the processing of documents between cities, allowing time savings and information reliability.
