Supplier Information

The following information will guide you through the Service Supplier Accreditation Process.

At Verve Energy we are implementing risk management procedures. We are doing this to keep the incurring cost of insurance at manageable levels, to ensure our practices are robust and corporate governance is maintained. As part of this program we have a process of accreditation for suppliers who provide services to us.

The benefit of this to individual service suppliers is that you will be quickly and easily available as a service supplier to all Verve Energy employees who purchase services. Also, if you submit for contracts/tenders your insurance details will already be on file so you will not have to provide them again as a condition of the contract / tender.

Our System Entry Level Accreditation covers four key areas:

Business and commercial details;
Insurance cover;
Safety and Health principles and expectations; and
Environment principles and expectations.

Accreditation requires you to complete documentation, or take action, in each of the above areas. It will be achieved when:

Verve Energy and / or its agent has received the completed documentation;
The information provided is validated and processed; and
Verve Energy’s supplier database has been updated with the validated information.

The complete list of documentation to be provided for accreditation consideration is contained in our Documentation checklist.

Business and Commercial

The documentation to complete in this area is the Supplier Request Form. This form is obtainable from any authorised Verve Energy employee (who is usually the person who has contacted you regarding the provision of your services).
