A transparent purchasing process
At Vetoquinol, our purchasing decisions are based on objective, documented criteria that comply with the regulatory requirements of the animal health sector. The purchasing process consists of the following steps:
1. Identification of the need
Every project begins with a needs analysis conducted jointly by the Purchasing teams and internal specifiers..
2. Acquisition
We analyse the market to identify suppliers and solutions that are likely to meet the need.
3. Consultation
Depending on the issues at stake, we organise a call for tenders or a targeted consultation.
- Regulatory and documentary compliance
- Quality and relevance of the solution
- Overall competitiveness (total cost)
- Financial strength
- CSR performance
4. Decision
The selection is made jointly by the Purchasing teams and internal specifiers, based on objective and traceable criteria.
5. Contractualisation
All collaboration is subject to an order and, depending on its criticality, a contract incorporating our specific terms and conditions, our ethical and compliance requirements and, where applicable, data protection requirements (GDPR) may be signed. Suppliers are requested not to commence any service, delivery or expenditure commitment without first receiving a signed contract or an order issued by Vetoquinol.
