Our approach to procurement
In order to support our business operations and strategy, it is imperative that Babcock has an efficient and highly effective supply chain. This means we need trusted and collaborative suppliers to support us in delivering ultra-reliable service to our customers.
Babcock buys a wide range of goods and services. We need high-performing suppliers across all aspects of our supply chain to ensure that our customers’ money is spent efficiently and responsibly. We need suppliers who will drive continuous improvement through innovation, and who will bring best practices to Babcock.
Our specialist procurement teams are integrated into operations and adopt high standards – sharing best practices and supplier insights across Babcock. Common expenditure across the company is managed and governed using a Group-Led Category Management approach.
Supply chain responsibility
We work with suppliers who take health, safety, and ethical and socially responsible operations as seriously as we do. This includes adhering to the Babcock Supplier Code of Conduct, maintaining supply chain security, and conducting business in a way that supports the high standards of both Babcock and our customers.
