AWD ALLIANCE’S NEW SUPLLIERS PORTAL TO BENEFIT

AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND SUPPLIERS

The AWD Alliance is delighted to announce the Program's engagement with Industry Capability Network (ICN) and the launch of the new AWD Alliance Suppliers Portal.

Responding to our suppliers’ feedback, the AWD Alliance has been working with ICN to improve the process for suppliers registering their interest with the Program by developing a more advanced supplier portal.

It was identified that suppliers wanted more flexibility to promote their services, control over their information and the knowledge that AWD Alliance personnel had a portal that allowed for efficient collection and retrieval of data on the thousands of companies that wish to register their interest in the AWD Program.

To this end, AWD will replace its current system of registration with the brand new portal, commencing today.

The new portal provides:

suppliers with the capability to control their own information, including updating their records. This means AWD will always have access to the most up-to-date information;
suppliers with a greater range of information on their organisations’ capabilities making it easier for AWD to determine who can best meet its needs;
AWD personnel a greater range of industry information and have access to better mechanisms with which to search the data; and
all suppliers in the market ‘a fair playing field’ when competing for work with the AWD Program.

This sophisticated supplier registration portal will be hosted by ICN on behalf of the AWD Alliance.

To log your details on the new supplier portal and continue your interest in of one of the most significant shipbuilding projects ever undertaken in Australia, visit www.ausawd.com and click on Supplier Registration. For further enquires please email ausawd@ausawd.com.

The AWD Program will provide vast opportunities for Australian industry with significant work for sub-contractors throughout the country, while helping to ensure the sustainability of the Australian shipbuilding and repair sector. The ships will require the assembly of approximately 500,000 components. About 1,500 suppliers will be required to complete the shipbuilding task, which will involve more than 3,000,000 personnel-hours per ship.

This new supplier portal will provide the resource to assist in this process.
