OREANDA-NEWS. February 18, 2011. TNK-BP is working to implement a new system of interaction with its suppliers and contractors that provides them with feedback on tender and pre-qualification results. Model answers can be found on the company’s website at: http://www.tnk-bp.ru/procurement/council/, reported the press-centre of TNK-BP.

TNK-BP’s relations with its contractors are based on contractual transparency, the creation of a system of strategic relationships between the Company and its partners, TNK-BP’s high safety standards, and intolerance towards corruption, abuses and embezzlement.

The TNK-BP contractor and supplier convention held in September 2010 decided, amongst other things, to improve the effectiveness of the Company’s relationships with its contractors by regarding feedback as a key requirement for building mutually beneficial long-term partnerships.
The latest meetings of the conflict commissions set up as part of part of the company’s new policy on supplier and contractor relations have recently been held in TNK-BP’s key regions and its head office in Moscow.

The conflict commissions were set up to resolve disputes and look into complaints by TNK-BP suppliers and contractors concerning the process of prequalification and contractor selection, as well as complaints about disqualification.
