Purchasing Policy

ENMAX employees are responsible for abiding by the corporate Purchasing Policy which was approved on Jan. 24, 2006.

Each purchase must be made ethically in accordance with the ENMAX Principles of Business Ethics, in full compliance with the law and the safety standards set out in the ENMAX Occupational Health and Safety Program manual, and on an arm’s-length basis free from any real or perceived conflict of interest on the part of the authorizing employee. Employees are expected to use good judgment and act in the best interests of ENMAX with the objective of each purchase being to obtain the best value for ENMAX. Purchasing decisions will not be based solely upon reciprocal trade.

ENMAX is committed to ensuring that all products and services purchased by ENMAX meet all required industry performance and quality standards. In accordance with the Environmental policy, ENMAX will promote the purchase of environmentally preferred products or services.

ENMAX supports the development of local suppliers of goods and services by considering such suppliers for all bid solicitations for which they are qualified and can provide best value. If two suppliers provide equal value, the local supplier will be chosen.
