How We Select Partners

A company interested in becoming a partner doing business with Osaka Gas must first apply to be registered as a supplier. The process involves submitting documentation covering the applicant's corporate profile, products and technical data. If the applicant is determined to meet the standards for products/services purchased by Osaka Gas, they will be registered as a supplier and their information will be held on file for reference when the Purchasing Department contacts appropriate suppliers after issuing a request for proposal (RFP) .

When an RFP is issued, the Purchasing Department contacts several candidates whom it deems, at its sole discretion, to be appropriate candidates for the RFP. These suppliers will be asked to submit their bids based on required specifications and deadlines for delivery. After evaluating the entries, the department will notify the selected supplier to discuss specific terms and conditions, including delivery schedule, inspection and more.
