Suppliers code of conduct and policies

When establishing a relationship with its suppliers, BAMIN seeks shared values and principles. BAMIN’s suppliers must become our partners in the pursuit of these objectives and must, therefore, follow the supplier code of conduct and policies outlined below:

What is the next step?

From now on, the registration of suppliers must be done directly on the NIMBI portal. It is an online platform for commercialization of products and services which connects BAMIN with its suppliers and increases the integration of the purchasing processes, from registration to sending the purchase order.
If your company is not yet registered at NIMBI, click on the link below, complete your registration and request connection to Bahia Mineração S/A.

Important!

Should BAMIN request connection by invitation via the NIMBI Portal, your company must register and accept the invitation.
Registration on the NIMBI Portal is not a guarantee of business success with BAMIN, nor does it represent an agreement, contract or business relationship in any way. Registered companies will receive eventual business opportunities via the NIMBI Portal.

FAQ

If the supplier is already registered on the NIMBI portal, go to My backlog > Registration updates > roll the mouse cursor down and, in the list of customers that appears at the bottom of the screen, click on the customer whose data you wish to update, in this case, BAMIN. If the registration status is “Approved”, there is no need to update. If it is “Pending”, it is still necessary to accept the connection invitation. Check if your business partner has entered comments on the Tracking tab, it will help with the registration update response, and then click onEdit Registration. Complete the requirements requested in the sections available in the Profile sub-menu: once you complete each section, save the data included, only then proceed to the next update.  After filling in all the necessary information, click on Send for Evaluation.

Log into the NIMBI portal and go to Trading > Received RFx. Click on the required RFx and after reading all the information in the file, go to the bottom of the page to “Accept” or “Decline” your participation.

Once the RFQ has been accepted, you must fill in the required cells to send your reply to BAMIN. If necessary, you can save your proposal through the “Save” option, but remember that at the end of the filling you must click “Submit” to send your proposal. Pay attention to the deadline for submission established by the applicant, which is available in the “Timeline”.

Navigate to Purchase > Orders, find and click on the required order. In the View Order panel, details of that order will be displayed, so that you can analyze and define whether to accept it or not. After analysing all the necessary information, click on Accept or Return (if you wish, you can accept your orders in Purchase > Received Orders). Below, you will find the orders available in list and if you want to download the orders, select it through the selection box and click Download Order.

After accessing the NIMBI Portal, go to the module Certify > My Suppliers > activate the Marketplace button and find Bahia Mineração S/A. After this step, click on the Request Connection button.
