Local Supplier Strategy

Strong relationships with our local business partners are essential as we establish ourselves as committed, long term  members of the Muswellbrook business community. We will work collaboratively with new and existing suppliers to drive innovation and build capability to achieve our local supplier strategy objectives.

To this end, it is the objective of procurement to achieve value for money and maximise supplier performance in procurement activities to assist MACH Energy in achieving its corporate objectives.

Becoming a MACH Energy supplier

MACH Energy requires our suppliers to embrace and comply with our Policies and Procedures, with all new suppliers required to complete vendor pre-qualification.

If your business is interested in becoming a supplier of goods or services to MACH Energy, please register your interest by emailing info@machenergy.com.au

Please include a profile of the products or services offered by your business and how it meets local content objectives. 

Local Procurement

The Upper Hunter Mining Dialogue is working with local government, local business organisations and industry partners to help improve the awareness of, and access to local procurement opportunities across the Upper Hunter.

A key project for the Dialogue’s Joint Economic and Social Development Working Group has been to liaise with industry partners involved in local procurement to provide relevant information to local suppliers to better inform them on how to successfully prepare for engagement with the mining sector on tenders and other procurement opportunities.

Local procurement

Ensuring our mining operations benefit local communities is central to MACH Energy’s vision and values and we facilitate the fulfilment of this commitment by giving preference to suppliers who demonstrate either local supply and or local content. For local content, the order of preference is for Muswellbrook-based, followed by Upper Hunter-based suppliers, Singleton, Newcastle and New South Wales.

Purchases

Suppliers are issued a purchase order to authorise the provision of goods and services, at a stated specification, quantity and price. Purchase orders apply the relevant standard Terms and Conditions, unless expressly stated on the purchase order.

Local Labour Commitment

At MACH Energy we believe in hiring locally. To do this, we have aligned ourselves with contractors who share this objective. We know how important it is that mining communities, like Muswellbrook, share in the success of long-term mining operations. That’s why we make it a part of our recruitment strategy to source talent locally where possible, engage local recruiters to assist us with the search, and when the right person for the job can’t be found locally, relocate the chosen candidate to the area. Local businesses are then able to enjoy the benefits of increased expenditure, thanks to a growth in population, and capital is invested back into local amenities.
