As you are probably aware, across our Europe region we implemented a new Marketplace on-line procurement system last year.The Procurement team has produced a quick and easy video guide to creating a purchase order and a full list of available suppliers/agreements in this SAP enabled tool.  It is aimed at anyone who buys supplies for the business and was set up by the Procurement team to make it easy to buy quality sourced goods from approved suppliers. It mainly covers purchases in spare parts, office supplies, safety supplies and lubricants categories.

Here’s the video link to the SharePoint file on how to create a purchase order here

Using these suppliers and this Marketplace tool will help you to help CEMEX gain more negotiating power with suppliers and make more effective buying decisions.  It allows us to manage our cash flow and have more transparency over our buying and supply process.

For it to work we need everyone to promote the use of Marketplace agreements for your future purchases where available in Marketplace.

If you would like new agreements to be implemented please contact your Procurement Marketplace Champion in the UK: Jasvinder Singh Cheema, by email: jasvindersingh.cheema@cemex.com

The Procurement team will use this channel to promote the use of Marketplace agreements, share available and new negotiations with you. In addition, Procurement local team members will arrange periodical Webinars.
