How to become a supplier
Qualification process
Redeia considers its suppliers to be essential for its business, along with the equipment, materials, services and work that it commissions from them. Only those companies that have passed a prior qualification process will be assigned supply contracts.
The process that a company must follow to become a supplier of Redeia varies according to the Business area that the supplier is interested in. The Business area is the combination of supply and scope (Spain or Latin America).
The qualification obtained by a supplier will always be associated with a Business area - Type 1 and type 6 business areas: In both cases, the standard qualification process must be passed, which consists of a series of minimum technical and sustainability standards associated with the activity. The difference between type 1 and type 6 is that after passing the qualification process, the supplier acquires PPP status (Test Order Pending) in the first case and in the second it will be directly Qualified.- Type 2: Besides passing the standard qualification process, the supplier must also satisfy certain requirements to approve its equipment or material. Once these requirements are met, the supplier acquires PPP (Test Order Pending) status.
- Type 3: The supplier must pass a standard qualification process and a personnel skills process (certain jobs can only be performed by the supplier’s employees who have passed a qualification examination held by Redeia). Once these requirements are met, the supplier acquires PPP (Test Order Pending) status.
- Type 4: The supplier must pass a registration process in which it must provide sales and business information about the Business area in question. A standard qualification process is not required.
There are no type 5 activities.
. It will therefore have to pass another qualification process if the supplier wants to be considered for another Business area.
