What is the Supplier Portal?
For suppliers and subcontractors, the Supplier Portal represents an important communication channel to the HOCHTIEF Group. We use this portal to streamline our business processes with you. All supplier information is managed in a centralized database and is available to all of our purchasing staff. The Supplier Portal allows our suppliers and subcontractors to file and maintain the Registration and the Questionnaire online.The Registration enables suppliers and subcontractors that have not yet worked with HOCHTIEF previously to introduce themselves to the HOCHTIEF Group. On Registration, the supplier or subcontractor is provided with an online form to provide basic information, including the D-U-N-S® number, the complete company name, contact details, and a general description of the company's services. HOCHTIEF will decide in a subsequent clearance procedure if the supplier or subcontractor qualifies as potential partner and will ask him for the completion of the more detailed Questionnaire.
The Questionnaire requires more in-depth information from our suppliers and subcontractors. Following a final clearance, all information from Registration and Questionnaire are administrated in a centralized database, available to all professional purchasing staff of the HOCHTIEF Group.
