We advertise all tenders through a Coupa invite.

Coupa offers the most comprehensive listing of tenders in Australia. For smaller contracts and supplies, we may also seek quotes directly from suppliers.

We seek to achieve 'best value' encompassing:

Other contract-specific selection criteria may also be included.

Firstly, ensure your own business is in order.

• Do you have health and safety systems in place?
• Do you have the capacity to meet our needs?

Secondly, do your homework and get to know our industry and our business.

We are looking to develop good business partnerships with reliable contractors and suppliers. The more you get to know about our business, the better position you will be in to meet our needs.

McArthur River Mine has a proud record of contributing to the Northern Territory economy through active local procurement.

We prefer to use local suppliers when they can offer quality, competitive goods and services and are pleased that a significant number of local businesses are able to meet our requirements.

We recently engaged the Industry Capability Network Northern Territory to further enhance our ability to connect with even more Territory businesses. Businesses should register for updates through the ICN Gateway.

As well as complying with legislative requirements for workers' compensation insurance, we may require you to have additional insurance in place.

Generally, contractors working on site will need to have $20 million in public liability insurance and there may be a need for professional indemnity insurance, depending on the type of work you are doing.

If you are working onsite, your commitment to health and safety must be equal to ours. We are committed to zero harm and your health and safety systems have to be up to the challenge.

If you are supplying goods to us from offsite, we will want to ensure that your health and safety policies are appropriate.

We understand the cash flow needs of business and adhere to an agreed payment schedule. Help us to meet this by:

• submitting complete and tax-compliant invoices in a timely manner
• ensuring our purchase order number is included on the invoice
• ensuring your invoices match the purchase order for price and quantity.

Existing suppliers can email the team their Coupa queries.

For new suppliers:

• Request your Glencore contact to submit the GZ New Supplier form in Coupa and proceed with the internal approvals.
• Have your Know Your Counterparty (KYC) documentation ready for submission.
• If you will be working on site, ask your site contact to submit the application for contractor accreditation.

All suppliers should submit invoices via the Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP). Please refer to your Purchase Order for more information and instructions. You can download an example template for reference.

If access to the CSP is not possible (e.g. due to technical barriers), submit via the Coupa invoices email address. 

When submitting an invoice, please ensure the quantity and price match the unit of measure of the Purchase Order. As an example, if the Purchase Order is based on days and daily rate, an invoice based on hours and hourly rate will incur an error.
