Our Supply Chain
SaskEnergy’s supply chains play an important role in ensuring operational integrity, safeguarding the reliability of our pipelines, and helping maintain affordable natural gas for our customers.
Through centralized procurement and contracting, SaskEnergy procures goods and services from local, regional, Indigenous and international suppliers of all sizes . SaskEnergy has and continues to develop policies and procedures that mitigate against modern slavery, including supply chain due diligence review . This includes, for example : • use of an approved manufacturer’s list — certain manufacturers are reviewed and approved to be the permitted suppliers of select goods and services. This review and approval may include site visits, audits and review of quality assurance process and documentation. • compliance verification: working to ensure suppliers meet legal and regulatory requirements, particularly by vetting vendors during evaluations and including related provisions in resulting contracts. SaskEnergy is expanding supplier performance management activities throughout the procurement and contracting process. We prioritize transparency and accountability in our procurement activities.
Our procurement spend primarily focuses on the following areas:
• sustainment of existing infrastructure
• new infrastructure development supporting customer growth and new customer connections
• software and license purchases and renewals
In 2023 - 24, SaskEnergy’s procurement spending reached $397 million as follows:
• $258 million (or 65%) from Saskatchewan suppliers
• $132 million (or 33%) from Canadian suppliers outside of Saskatchewan • $6 million (or 2%) from U . S . and other international suppliers 3
SaskEnergy takes a competitive approach to procurement, which is driven by operational needs .
