Successful applicants for Robot Investments supplier status should meet
a majority of our seven key vendor performance criteria:
- Value: "Value" at Robot
Investments is more than a good price. In fact, price is not the sole
determining factor. Quality, service and delivery are very important
in our strategic sourcing review.
- Capacity/Distribution: Robot
Investments often has a North American scope and high-volume
requirements. Vendors must have the capacity and distribution
capabilities to meet our requirements over wide geographic areas, as
required. Smaller businesses should keep in mind that strategic
alliances can often help accomplish this.
- Electronically Capable: Suppliers
must have the ability to conduct business electronically with web
/internet based equipment. Robot Investments actively promotes
electronic procurement, including electronic invoicing
- Stability: Vendors must be both
solvent and able to meet long-term contractual obligations.
- Diversity: Supplier Diversity promotes
development and provides maximum opportunity for minority-, women-,
and disabled-owned businesses to participate in the procurement
activities of Robot Investments. Vendors must be able to demonstrate
support for diversity, equity and people with disabilities in the
workplace.
- Workplace Environment: Vendors must
have established policies, practices and standards in place promoting
a safe and healthy environment.
- Canadian & US Content: In support
of North American businesses, the amount of Canadian and US product
and service is taken into consideration.
Depending on Robot Investments needs, any one of these criteria may
have more weight in the review process. That said, demonstrating your
business' capability to meet or exceed these criteria will help set you
apart from your competitors.
If you believe your business has what the companies of Robot
Investments need, take a first step to applying for vendor status by
