Tips for
ISA suppliers

The ISA Group’s Supplier Information System is managed by PAR SERVICIOS INTEGRALES S.A., leader of UNION TEMPORAL PAR UNILINK, hired by ISA to manage and operate the system, which includes three processes:

  • This process collects updated, centralized, and validated information from our national and foreign suppliers.
  • Opportunity to verify and monitor possible legal, reputational, and financial situations that could pose a risk for the relationship with our suppliers.
  • Evaluation of suppliers by prequalifying experience, procurement capacity, business classification, and purchase categories.

For its procurement plan, ISA has established classification criteria so that registered suppliers can be pre-qualified in different categories of goods and services. This is our source of information when requesting bids, according to the procedures stipulated in our procurement regulations.

To strengthen our alliances and to ensure that the procurement processes is based on the development of fair, trustworthy relationships, ISA has created several transparent, flexible processes for the acquisition of goods and services.

Here, current and potential suppliers can find Agreement 108, which contains detailed information about the contractual regime applied:

Procurement Rules:

Complementing Agreement 108

1. Corporate Occupational Health And Safety Policy:

Suppliers contribute to our commitment to protect and preserve the health and safety of our employees and the people who interact with us.

2. Corporate Environmental Policy:

We work together to protect and preserve the environment. This is why we manage natural resources, impacts, and risks responsibly, ensuring that our processes and operations are consistent with sustainable development.

3. Agreement 74 of December 19, 2008:

ISA adopted the Manual on Prevention of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (SIPLA).

4. Institutional Guide 218 of December 21, 2016:

ISA defines criteria and methodologies to manage the performance of suppliers and contractors during the procurement, execution, and termination of the contracts.

5. Rules regarding disqualification and incompatibilities applicable to procurement

SIPLA Single Supplier Procurement Form (Spanish)

Rules regarding disqualification and incompatibilities applicable to ISA procurement

To clarify the guidelines for handling these issues, ISA also makes available the Suppliers’ HSE Manual.

Advisory on suppliers’ safety, occupational health, and environmental management

ISA is committed to the well-being and safety of its suppliers, conservation of the environment, and compliance with its institutional policies. To accomplish this, ISA has a mechanism in place to manage the review of requirements and advise its suppliers on compliance thereof.

This communication tool is available at Proveedoressig@isa.com.co, or HSE audit/ work supervision in the case of construction projects.

Legal Requirements

ISA is committed to comply with the current legislation. Attached is a summary of the legal requirements on safety, occupational health, and environmental management issued by the Colombian authority in 2015 and 2016.

ISA set up a set of interrelated elements whereby the company seeks to generate a culture of prevention, application of the current regulation, and control of Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism activities.

This way, ISA demonstrates its commitment to the observance of ethical and legal principles on business achievements.

ISA guarantees quality during the acquisition of goods and services, trusting in the high standards of its suppliers. This is how ISA develops its procurement processes:

  • If there is a significant number of certified suppliers for the purchase, ISA will demand the Quality Assurance Certificate as a requirement for participation.
  • If there is not a significant number of certified suppliers, whoever is responsible for managing the purchase will demand the quality assurance requirement according to the information available in the market.
  • When the contract object includes the acquisition of goods and services, ISA may independently specify the level of quality assurance requirements for goods and services.

Public request for bids

We refer to quality assurance in the chapters of standard documents, where we expect to define the requirements for participation and the conditions for submission of bids.

For the acquisition of goods and services regarding our Energy Transmission business unit, we demand the Quality System Certificate from suppliers
Criteria for acceptance of proposals:

  • If the Quality System Certificate is required to participate in the public request for bids
  • If the Quality System Certificate or the Quality Profile are requested to participate in the private request for bids or direct request

ISA believes in the benefits of feedback and dialogue to identify improvement opportunities, increase satisfaction levels, and ensure continuity in the delivery of its services.

The supplier performance qualification and evaluation seeks to:

  • Promote a positive attitude and permanent communication with our suppliers.
  • Manage enough information to observe, confirm, and increase our confidence in the capacity of our suppliers to meet the needs regarding the goods and services required by our Energy Transmission business unit.
  • Ensure the continuous improvement of our suppliers and an effective relationship throughout the supply chain.

Note: After clicking on the ISA INTERCOLOMBIA website link, you must go to the tab Gestión de riesgos en la contratación

In the contracting processes, we will identify the risks relevant to the purpose and scope of the contracts:

  • In the contracting processes, we will carry out a risk analysis in order to identify the risks relevant to the purpose and scope of the contracts. We will determine the guarantees and insurance required to cover the risks of the contracts, with the limits and sub-limits to be contracted or requested, depending on the stage of the contracting process, and in accordance with the guide for determining guarantees and insurance for each type of contract. The request for bids and the contracts will establish the guarantees and insurance that cover the contracts, indicating which ones will be paid for by the supplier.
  • The constitution of the policies that are enforceable on the supplier must comply with the requirements established in the guide for determining guarantees and insurance for each type of contract. Our acceptance of the policies will be made by reviewing the documents issued by the insurance company or the bank, which in any case must be delivered by the supplier. The original documents of the bank guarantees and the original or copies of the insurance documents shall form an integral part of the contractual documentation, which must be filed in the locations designated for this purpose by our Document Management Department.
  • Any additional clauses or addenda that modify the term or value of the main contract, or include new activities that generate new risks, will imply a modification of the validity, the sum insured, or the coverage of the policies. Any extension or addition to the guarantees and insurance required in accordance with the needs of the contract and under the responsibility of the supplier will be at their expense.
  • The guarantees and insurance are ancillary to the contract and are constituted without prejudice to the fulfillment of all the obligations arising from it and may not be canceled without the written authorization of ISA in its role as contractor. In the case of temporary unions or consortiums, the guarantees and insurance must be constituted by all the persons who make up said association, and the corporate name or business name of the guarantor(s) must be correctly registered.
  • Policies issued by insurance companies must be granted by entities legally established and authorized by the Financial Superintendency of Colombia, and issued to private entities or between private individuals, in a form and with content satisfactory to us. In certain cases, a bank guarantee granted by a domestic or foreign bank that we consider acceptable may also be accepted as collateral. All these conditions will be established in the contracting process documents.

The guarantees and insurance policies usually requested, in accordance with the defined risk management strategies and the specific characteristics of each contract, are as follows:
