CONNECT, a new platform by the ORLEN Group, is an innovative e-purchasing system that is set to entirely replace the written tender forms. In ORLEN Deutschland’s future procurement processes, it will be the only way to access invitations to tender and to submit bids. The newly implemented solution will facilitate the integration and optimisation of purchasing processes, while also giving new suppliers access.
The tool can be found at https://connect.orlen.pl and covers a comprehensive procurement process that ranges from processing tenders and conducting procurement procedures to participating in negotiations and online auctions.
