In future, Linde Engineering will be using electronic auctions wherever appropriate to source products and services from suppliers. eAuctions enable one or more vendors to submit their offers via a web-based eAuction tool. It is a very effective and transparent means of shortlisting candidates and awarding contracts.
Winning vendors will be selected on the basis of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) as well as commercial and technical conditions defined and negotiated in advance. Each vendor will receive individual training on how to use the tool before an eAuction takes place.
