General Information on our Procurement Process
Global Procurement’s vision is to bring value to the enterprise by delivering, procurement services in a highly productive professional manner and at a cost competitive with or lower than external vendors. In support of this mission, MetLife has implemented cutting-edge electronic tools for both Sourcing and requisitioning. These additions will allow us to provide more efficient processes.
Specifically, Global Procurement uses Ariba, a popular web-based eSourcing application by to manage all of its RFX activity (including RFPs, RFIs etc.) with vendors. Please visit the website, http://www.ariba.com/ to learn more about this application and its benefits.
Sourcing (Bidding) Application
All vendors interested in being considered for procurement opportunities with MetLife must first be registered on Ariba eSourcing. After a vendor completes and electronically submits the form, a member of the Procurement team will review it. The vendor will electronically be notified as to whether their registration was accepted or denied, based on a variety of criteria (i.e. accuracy of information, profile of company, presence of relevant attachments etc.).
