Scouting and Evaluation Process

Become WAMGROUP’s Supplier

To become a WAMGROUP Supplier candidates have to pass a selection process consisting of the following steps:  

1. Suppliers introduce themselves to WAMGROUP: Suppliers are invited to provide General Information about their Company, products and/or services.
2. Suppliers present self-evaluation to WAMGROUP: Suppliers are invited to answer questions through a Questionnaire providing a self-evaluation of their technical, qualitative and productive capacities and capabilities.
3. WAMGROUP Preliminary Evaluation: WAMGROUP evaluates both general information and answers from the questionnaire to define whether the prospective Supplier is a potential candidate to receive a Request For Quotation. An evaluation can be made during a visit at the Supplier’s premises in order to check “in the field” the information provided.
4. Request For Quotation: Suppliers are invited to submit quotations on WAMGROUP items based on a package of specifications and drawings. This can only be done if the Supplier has duly signed a WAMGROUP confidentiality agreement.
5. Selection and qualification/approval: after evaluating the RFQ answers and the Supplier's profile, a Sourcing Committee decides whether to proceed with final Supplier qualification for approval as WAMGROUP Vendor.
