Supplier FAQs
#How do I become a Thiess supplier?
As a preference we select suppliers locally, nationally and then internationally. The group supply chain team targets those categories of spend that have applicability to multiple business units and runs a robust evaluation process. Corporate suppliers are selected based on our priorities and a view towards a long term relationship. Project suppliers tend to be selected on a fixed term basis for products or services with a specific or specialised local need. To become a supplier, please register your interest online. If you have a registered business in Australia, click here or if you have a registered business outside of Australia, click here.
#If we already provide services or products to Thiess should we still register?
The team has likely already categorised your offering and has entered this into our database. It is not necessary for you to register again, however if your business range or other details have changed, it is a good idea to register and update us.
#What should we do if we have an offer that Thiess simply must see?
Please send an e-mail to suppliersetupAM@thiess.com.au describing the situation. This e-mail is reviewed daily and funnelled to the relevant category manager for assessment.
