Suppliers

AusNet Services' objective is to procure materials, equipment and services on appropriate terms and conditions, while leveraging spend, managing risk and ensuring regulatory and legal compliance in its contracts and orders.
 
Small, medium and large organisations are all eligible to become suppliers of AusNet Services - particularly those who have well-developed, proactive approaches to customer service, product and service innovation and sustainability. Having ISO 9000 accreditation is also a distinct advantage.
 
Registering your company details with AusNet Services does not pre-qualify you as an AusNet Services supplier nor does it guarantee that you will be contracted by AusNet Services’ Procurement to Tender for goods and/or services to our Company.  However, it will make AusNet Services aware of your stated ability to supply, and will provide sufficient information to enable us to form a good initial assessment of your capabilities.
 
If you would like more information to be considered as a possible supplier to AusNet Services, please email ariba.servicedesk@ausnetservices.com.au or call 1800 858 626.
