Procurement and Contracts

We contract with a large number of third-party suppliers. We rely on their contribution to achieve our business goals.

The Procurement and Contracts Category Management Teams partner with stakeholders and suppliers to fulfil all individual airport and group-wide requirements.

MAG is committed to ensuring that the best results possible are obtained from our expenditure by adopting the appropriate controls and best practice processes to generate demonstrable commercial risk management, value for money and the maximisation of benefits.

We are making it easier for suppliers to do business with MAG by transacting with preferred suppliers through the SAP Ariba Business Network. This enables us to manage all procurement processes, interactions and information as well as helping to improve supplier relationships.

If you are interested in working with MAG you will need to register on the SAP Business Network. We have prepared a video to explain what this will mean, and how we would like to work with suppliers.

MAG is regulated as a utility in accordance with the Utilities Contracts Regulations (UCR) 2016 for Goods, Works and Services. MAG will advertise future business opportunities by issuing contract notices on the government’s Find a Tender website.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a high priority at MAG. We have company-wide commitments to sustainability; it is led from the very top of the company and embedded into everything we do. We’ve set ourselves some challenging targets and our suppliers are integral to our success.

All MAG’s preferred suppliers are required to complete a sustainability assessment through the EcoVadis network. This enables us to manage the sustainability performance of our strategic suppliers over four key sustainability topics: Environment, Labour and Human Rights, Ethics and Sustainable Procurement. If you are awarded a contract through a sourcing event, or are a required supplier to MAG, it is mandatory to register and complete a sustainability assessment within a specified timeframe from the contract award. You can register and begin your assessment using this Invitation for Sustainability Assessment link which will redirect you to the EcoVadis portal.

If you are interested in working with MAG or a potential new supplier, please visit the Invitation for Sustainability Assessment page for more information.

Potential new suppliers to MAG are able to register their interest by providing information via the SAP Ariba portal. Suppliers will firstly need to provide some basic information, which will be held securely and accessed only by the Procurement and Contracts Team at MAG, who will reach out with any opportunities they feel you could participate in.

If MAG would like a supplier to participate in a sourcing event, a further questionnaire will be sent requesting more detailed information about the company, and will cover important topics such as those contained within our Supplier Code of Conduct (link below). If you are then awarded a contract through a sourcing event, or are a required supplier to MAG, a final questionnaire to confirm payment details will be sent so that we can then establish a trading relationship.

To make sure the interaction between MAG and our valued suppliers is efficient, MAG is requesting that suppliers trade on the SAP Business Network. You can register your interest in becoming a supplier at this link and you will be directed to the SAP Ariba portal to complete our ‘Supplier Request Form’. This will ensure that MAG has accurate details saved for you.

Once you’ve submitted the form, there will be no further action required, therefore we request that you do not contact MAG to chase the request. Please be assured that once submitted and accepted, we will be in touch with you should an opportunity arise that we feel you would be suitable for.
