Combining Our Strengths
Avangrid is committed to excellence and competitiveness among its suppliers, whom the company sees as its strategic business partners. Objectivity and transparency are of primary importance.
We build trusting relationships
Welcome to the Suppliers section. You can find all the information you need to register, participate in purchasing processes, and maintain your relationship with us efficiently and securely.
SAP Business Network will now serve as the single point of entry for all interactions with Avangrid.
SAP Business Network is a global platform that enables collaboration with multiple clients, including Avangrid. While there are various types of accounts—some of which may incur fees—there is no additional cost to collaborate with Avangrid via this platform.
Please note: Not all SAP Business Network functionalities will be available from the outset. In this initial phase, you will be able to:
- Participate in tender processes, with no changes to the operations you currently carry out with Avangrid in SAP.
- Maintain your data, such as bank account details, up to date.
- Monitor the status of orders, invoices, and payments.
- Confirm and notify shipments within orders.
The following functionalities will not be available for the time being:
- Order receipts.
- Invoice generation directly from SAP Business Network.
GoSupply: The Supplier Registration and Management System supported on a single, global digital platform managed by GoSupply (for exclusive use and restricted to suppliers of the Iberdrola group). Avangrid uses GoSupply as a supplier evaluation, classification, risk measurement and sustainability system. In this cloud solution, the supplier must ensure their information is always up-to-date and periodically review the supporting documentation requested during the questionnaire completion phase. Incomplete or outdated information can lead to a higher-than-normal risk assessment and a poor sustainability assessment.
About Our Purchase Process
If you have never been a supplier before, here are the steps you need to follow, from registration to delivery and invoicing jobs:
Our purchase process step by step:
Becoming a Supplier: Enroll in GoSupply
To become a supplier of the Iberdrola Group you must enroll in GoSupply. There are three levels of registration. As a new supplier, you will be registered at the Elementary Level. Depending on future needs, you may be automatically moved to another registration level.
- Classification: We will check that your company's data and policies are in line with our standards. We will make sure that there is no risk during the purchasing process.
- Registration: Before participating in the tender process, your company must register in SAP-ARIBA. Click this link to learn about the registration process in the SAP Business Network.
- Tender Process: Once a tender is created and scheduled, the Iberdrola group will contact you to participate in the process.
- Awarding: Both parties involved will sign the contract, which will outline the conditions and deadlines, among other details.
- Jobs and Billing: If your company is awarded the contract, the final process will commence after the contract is signed. This process includes placing the order, receiving it, and issuing the invoice.
