Becoming a Supplier
Progress Software continually seeks to rationalize our suppliers by focusing new business with our existing preferred suppliers. When we need to engage new suppliers, we search for industry leaders with a proven track record of providing superior products and services. These companies are then invited to participate in a competitive bidding event which evaluates all bidders on a fair and unbiased basis.
We understand and appreciate the need for companies to reach out to us to explore if opportunities exist to do business. However, it our policy to honor existing contracts until they are up for renewal. At that time, Corporate Procurement and our business partners make a fact-based decision to go out for competitive bid or continue with our preferred supplier.
Corporate Procurement does not normally meet with new suppliers unless there is an upcoming opportunity to go out for competitive bid.
