Through collaboration with its suppliers, Sydney Water is aiming to design a less complex supply strategy with better outcomes for customers, including reviewing feedback on planning; design; project management, construction and planned civil maintenance; operational maintenance; by-product and resource management; and facilities management and delivery.
Sydney Water Chief Financial Officer Kevin Jones said the focus is on driving better customer outcomes and is calling on suppliers to contribute to the discussion.
“Sydney continues to grow, and we’re working hard to plan and deliver services for our customers to meet that growth,” said Mr Jones.
“At the same time, we are focusing on providing the best possible value, so we want to work hand in hand with community, government and industry to do this.
“That’s why we’re asking our suppliers to help us design a procurement process that is simpler and more efficient, responsive to change and helps build true partnerships.
“We want frank and honest feedback so we can improve our procurement strategy, making it easier for our suppliers and our team, and benefiting our customers by increasing efficiency and improving the service we provide them.”
The first phase is an online feedback forum, which suppliers can contribute to by registering via SAP Ariba and Sydney Water Talk.
