The full digitalisation of all contract document management is now active. In particular, via Hera_Pro, the suppliers and contractual contacts of the Hera Group are able to:
- manage all contractual documentation via the portal, including contracts signed with temporary groupings of companies and/or consortia;
- submit the necessary documentation for subcontracts;
- manage the supplier control checklists digitally, to ensure performance monitoring and the resolution of any non-conformities.
How Vendor Performance Rating will change
A new method for calculating the Performance Rating has also been introduced. It plays an increasingly important role in supplier selection.
The main new elements for calculating the Performance Rating – calculated for each Product Group – are as follows:
- frequency of checks differentiated according to the criticality of the product (quarterly, semi-annual or annual);
- bonus score after positive checklists;
- weighted bonus and penalty scores based on the value and duration of the contract.
To ensure greater visibility of the supplier’s performance, we have revised the range of the “Performance Rating” scale as follows:
- minimum invitability threshold reduced to 25 points and consequent harmonisation of the existing performance rating to align the previous ratings with the new criteria (minus 25 points for all);
- qualification in a new product group => 50 points.
