As part of our efforts to streamline supply chain activity, Calvary is changing the way we engage with suppliers.
What is Calvary Supplier Central?
Calvary Supplier Central is an online portal which will replace paper based vendor on-boarding and supplier management processes.
The new portal allows suppliers to share company information with us so that the turnaround time for vendor approvals will be quicker.
Switching to Calvary Supplier Central will enable Calvary to conduct business with our suppliers in a more efficient way by allowing us to have access to up-to-date information regarding your key contact details, the products and services that you provide or any documents required for risk management and compliance purposes.
Calvary Supplier Central will allow you to manage critical documentation such as insurance certificates of currency, police checks and other information which we currently collect from you manually via email and verbal requests. Adopting this self-managed processes will generate efficiencies for both you and us.
What are the benefits fo you?
There are a number of benefits we see for suppliers, which include:
-
Contemporaneous and centralised system – documents will only need to be provided to Calvary once, instead of providing them separately when you transact with each Calvary facility
-
Calvary staff will have access to up-to-date information regarding suppliers’ key contacts, products and services provided and documents required for risk management and compliance
-
Better, more efficient communication with Calvary
-
Reminders for when renewal of compliance certificates, licenses or insurance policies are due will be sent out through this portal
When will I be able to use Calvary Supplier Central?
In Stage One, we will open up the portal to all suppliers who currently hold contracts with Calvary across either the hospital, aged care, community or National business units.
