How to become a NaTran supplier

NaTran expects its Suppliers to contribute to all its key priorities: quality, safety, security, cybersecurity, financial performance and CSR performance, including the decarbonisation of its activities and the management of environmental impacts.

NaTran attaches particular importance to safety and adheres to an integrated safety policy. As such, NaTran monitors its safety performance using the “Overall Frequency Rate” indicator, which includes not only lost-time accidents involving employees but also lost-time accidents involving NaTran contractors working on a NaTran site.

NaTran has defined 10 safety rules covering major risks, both technical and cross-functional, that may be encountered during operations.

These also involve:

• Complying with legal, judicial and social obligations (e.g. the LME Act, the Sapin 2 Act),
• Demonstrating adequate insurance to cover the risks incurred,
• Demonstrating an appropriate human, technical and technological organisation capable of guaranteeing deadlines and consistent quality,
• Accepting the systematic approval of subcontractors and their payment terms by the project manager

For all tenders, NaTran sends a standard tender pack to the selected suppliers. This usually includes:

• The tender regulations, which specify the deadline for receipt and the procedures for submitting the tender, the documents to be provided, and the criteria for awarding the contract,
• The Special Technical Specifications (CCTP): a description of requirements, expected performance, and constraints relating to quality, safety and the environment,
• The General Terms and Conditions (GTC) and Special Terms and Conditions (STC) of purchase.

If the contract is awarded, the GTC and STC must be signed by the supplier.
