26-11-2014
Franck Le Guillou, Bouygues Construction Purchasing Director, said: “These trophies enable us to maintain our competitiveness by honouring the partners with whom we conduct joint innovation activities in the context of long-term associations. Bouygues Construction is seeking to encourage this approach with its suppliers, particularly to meet new challenges relating to digital modelling, to enable us to continue proposing the most competitive, innovative and sustainable solutions.”
Four partners received awards in the Group’s principal business areas :
- Building category: Menuiseries Nicolas
This SME based in Lanvollon, Brittany, was the first Bouygues Construction supplier to set up a standardisation procedure for the products it supplied along with IT processes intended to facilitate day-to-day dealings. This operation has resulted in time savings as well as a better mutual understanding between the two partners. Product standardisation is one of the top priorities of Bouygues Construction Purchasing.
- Public works category: Palmieri
- Energies and services category: LG Electronics
- Non-production category: Hertz
With its panel of suppliers, Bouygues Construction Purchasing retains a focus on sustainable procurement and is committed to always acting in a responsible and innovative manner when purchasing supplies or services. Approximately 2,400 suppliers were assessed in 2014. Through partnerships and joint developments, the Group’s Purchasing division is also active alongside its suppliers as they imagine the solutions, technologies, materials and equipment of tomorrow.
