Thomson West negotiates long-term contracts with key suppliers where it makes strategic sense. To be considered when an opportunity arises, suppliers must be registered on our Supplier Registration System website.

On October 1, 2007, suppliers can access our new online registration system. New and existing suppliers will be able to securely enter their company information and data for doing business with West.

   

Our policy is to select suppliers who deliver the best overall value. Price is certainly one component, but we also look for:

• Quality products and services
• Ongoing support
• Technical ability and depth
• Management strength
• Consistent meeting of service requirements
• Cost containment
• Minority, women, disabled veterans business enterprise participation
