For suppliers
Read what you, as a supplier, should know about our procurement policy and your collaboration with Alliander.
Tendering
Alliander is a tendering entity
As a tendering entity, we are bound to the 2012 Tendering Act. This means, among other things, that we have to put all procurement contracts that exceed the European threshold values out to tender.
You can find publications about tenders and qualification systems on the Tenderned website.
Purchase conditions
General purchase conditions and logistics conditions
Our purchase conditions apply to all agreements we conclude for supplies and services. For works we use the UAV2012 as a base. Our logistics conditions apply to all requests, tenders and contract under which you as a supplier deliver goods to Alliander.
Purchase orders and invoicing
Receive orders digitally, and send us your confirmations and invoices digitally
For the exchange of orders, confirmations and invoices, we use digital platforms. At present, this platform is BaswareONE. During the period from 2026 to 2028, we will gradually transition to SAP Business Network (SBN). As soon as you are eligible to join SBN, you will receive an invitation.
SAP Business Network
We also use SBN to make catalogs available and to integrate the complete order and invoice flow. If you are interested, please contact us via leverancier.onboarding@alliander.com.
Phased implementation of SBN starting from 18 May 2026
We will partially send purchase orders via SBN. Orders that you receive through SBN, must also be processed via SBN. The corresponding invoices must also be sent to us via SBN. Orders that you receive through another channel, such as Basware, should continue to be processed through that channel.
Temporary use of 2 channels
Do you supply goods and services to multiple organisational units within Alliander? During the transition phase, you will then handle orders and invoicing via both Basware and SAP Business Network. This requires flexibility, but also ensures a manageable transition and continuity of processes.
If you have any questions, please contact us via leverancier.onboarding@alliander.com.
Code of conduct for suppliers
Our requirements for doing business ethically and fairly
The code of conduct lays down requirements for our suppliers and their suppliers and manufacturers for ethical and fair business practices. It describes how we want to treat people, how we want to improve the environment and how we want to work (and collaborate).
Raw material passport
We ask suppliers to provide a raw material passport
Is a netcomponent material according to the rules of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD)? Then we ask for a raw materials passport that is certified by an independent party. Netbeheer Nederland has entered into a partnership with Kiwa for this purpose.
Filling in the raw materials passport is part of the implementation of the CSRD legislation. We ask you to be transparent about the composition and the chain of the materials. The material composition forms the base for sustainability claims and for the dialogue on further sustainability.
You can ask your contract manager or our procurement department for the most recent version of the raw materials passport. For tenders, you will always receive the most relevant version of the raw materials passport along with the tender documentation.
