Supplier Development
Tawteen offers a Supplier Development Program which encourages the growth and success of Energy Sector suppliers. One of the key features of Tawteen is the promotion of collaborative relationships between suppliers and the Energy Sector companies. We believe that our suppliers are an integral part of the Energy Sector and recognize their significant contribution to the economy of Qatar. Key initiatives under the Supplier Development program are as follows:
 

1. Information Sharing: Information on new supply chain investment opportunities, forthcoming spend including clarity on 3-5 year purchasing demand will be provided to suppliers; with this information, we expect that suppliers can plan and operate businesses more efficiently. 

      

2. Engagement: The Energy Sector will engage suppliers regularly through forums. We expect these forums to provide a platform for suppliers and Energy Sector companies to establish collaborative relationships.  

      

3. Business Process Improvements: Certain improvements to the Energy Sector companies’ contracting and procurement policies, standards and procedures will be introduced to assist Suppliers in their business dealings with us. Our intent is to harmonize policies, standards and procedures across the Energy Sector and these improvements will be gradually implemented.   

 

4. Technical and Business Development Support: Suppliers, particularly Small and Medium Enterprises will be provided with assistance on technical and operational aspects of their business to improve performance and competitiveness. Where required, support will be provided allowing access to facilities for pilot testing of new products and services in the Energy Sector companies.
