Suppliers鈥� Corner
Suppliers鈥� Corner outlines the necessary steps to becoming one of our suppliers and provides relevant resources and insights for each stage of the process, from sourcing to collaboration.
We're committed to streamlining our commercial supply chain and have simplified our working processes accordingly. To make sure the interaction between Shell and our valued suppliers is efficient, we offer all the necessary tools on the SAP Ariba platform.
Step 1: Getting started
To be selected as a potential supplier for a sourcing event, we'll consider factors such as your adherence to our General Business Principles and Supplier Principles, your financial stability, your ability to safely deliver on the scope of work, and your approach to human rights and worker welfare.
Step 2: Invitation to SAP Ariba
To participate in the sourcing event, we kindly ask that you first create a company profile. We鈥檒l send you an invitation to get things started.
Step 3: Participate in the sourcing event
Once the sourcing event has kicked off, you'll be able to easily submit the required documents through SAP Ariba.
Step 4: Complete the questionnaire
As part of the sourcing event, we'll ask you to complete a few supplier assessment questionnaires. These questionnaires cover important topics like ethics and compliance, financial risk, health and safety, environmental and social performance (HSSE&SP), and worker welfare and labour rights.
Step 5: Evaluation process
We'll carefully evaluate all the responses we receive from participating suppliers, taking into account various criteria such as cost, technical capability, ethics and compliance, local content, and more. We'll keep you in the loop throughout the process and notify everyone of the results.
Step 6: Awarding the contract
If your submission is successful, we will begin the acceptance process by offering you a contract. All participating suppliers will receive a notification of the results.
Step 7: Signing the contract
Once we've agreed on the terms and conditions of the contract, we'll be ready to sign! To ensure a smooth process, we invite you to read more about our electronic signature data privacy statement.
Step 8: Transacting with Shell
We'll send you an email inviting you to join the SAP Ariba Network, where you'll have the opportunity to select the account type that best fits your company profile. To help you make an informed decision, we encourage you to read more about the different account types available and the process flow for both standard and enterprise accounts.
Step 9: Invoicing Shell
Submitting your invoices is easy! You can use SAP Ariba, or if that's not possible, you can submit them in PDF format. To help you navigate the process, read more information about invoicing channels, what you should include in your invoice, and how to contact our Accounts Payable chatbot.
Step 10: Powering Progress together
At Shell, we continuously want to improve ourselves, and working closely with our suppliers is a key part of achieving our ambitions. Your contract will detail the expectations we have for our collaboration. Learn more about how we are Powering Progress together with our suppliers.
