Purchasing

Our commitments to suppliers

The UNICANCER Achats policy is based on a transparent and objective relationship with suppliers:

• We precisely define our needs with specifications.
• We pre-select tenders for their technical competency and savoir-faire.
• The choice of our suppliers is made based on clear and definite criteria at the time of tender.
• We draw up written and signed contracts in which each party’s reciprocal obligations are defined.
• We guarantee our suppliers respect of the negotiated conditions and the confidentiality of the information obtained in tenders.

Our Responsible Purchasing Policy

UNICANCER Achats is committed to respecting the principles of the United Nations Global Compact for human rights, labour and the environment.

These principles are integrated in UNICANCER Achats’ specifications. UNICANCER Achats ensures that the rules of sustainable development are taken into account by its suppliers and choose goods or services that are more respectful of the environment and manufactured by respecting the highest social, ethical and environmental standards.

 

The role of UNICANCER Achats within the UNICANCER Group

Created in 2005, UNICANCER Achats (formerly the GIE Purchasing Consortium of the FCCC – GIE CAC) has repositioned the role of purchasing in the Centers with tasks with the highest added value. Its policy is based on harmonising and rationalising referential articles and suppliers, as well as improving supplying processes:

• Standardisation and pooling of needs.
• Publication of tenders (as defined by the order of 6 June 2005 relative to transactions made by certain public or private persons not held to the public transactions code).
• Modernisation of work methods, systemising the use of e-Procurement.
