Questionnaires
How to answer to Supplier management questionnaires of Proximus?
Once your Ariba account is registered you can answer to Supplier Management questionnaires.
RFx
How to participate in RFx Events?
Proximus carefully evaluates and selects the suppliers in Sourcing events: RFI, RFP and e-Auction.
A request for information (RFI) is used to explore a particular market and investigate the options that suppliers can offer to support our business.
A request for proposal (RFP) and request for quotation (RFQ) is used to obtain price indications and conditions based on predefined requirements.
An e-auction is an online, market-driven negotiation based on total value, often used as part of an RFP in the procurement process.
For Supplier Relationship Management, Suppliers can be requested to participate in Supplier Performance Management surveys (SPM).
Invoicing
How to invoice?
Before invoicing, please make sure that you have received the Proximus invitation to register your Ariba account. After registration, you still have to configure your account.
