Important PGE supplier information

General rules PGE is committed to promoting diversity and economic development in the communities we serve. One way of demonstrating this is by ensuring equal opportunity in all competitive bid events for qualified minority-owned, women-owned, disabled veteran-owned and emerging small business enterprises (MWESB) suppliers. PGE recognizes that these businesses are vitally important to the overall success of our company.

We are committed to fostering an inclusive procurement process that is accessible and fair to all suppliers based on their ability to meet the company's performance, price and quality requirements. Our employees are responsible for identifying, qualifying, selecting and managing the procurement process for goods and services to assure that qualified diverse suppliers are appropriately included. 

We also strongly encourage our prime contractors and major suppliers to support supplier diversity by creating a competitive procurement process that provides opportunities to the greatest extent possible for diverse supplier sub-contractors and businesses.

This Supplier Code of Conduct (Code) is based on the standards that apply to all PGE employees, and provides guidance on what we expect of our Suppliers as they work for, or on behalf of PGE. Suppliers are responsible for ensuring that they, and their employees, subcontractors, and agents review, understand, and comply with both the letter and the spirit of the Code. Noncompliance can result in contract termination or removal of a supplier from consideration for future business opportunities...

To help strengthen Portland General Electric’s relationship with our suppliers, manage risk and ensure compliance with mandated laws and regulations, PGE has implemented a Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) program. Suppliers doing work deemed high-risk are required to comply with the TPRM program requirements.

The TPRM program requirements vary depending upon the risk(s) that apply to a given supplier, and we may seek additional information and insight from you in some or more of the following areas:

  • Cyber security information, practices, and posture

  • Safety statistics, safety culture practices and procedures

  • Financial performance and solvency

  • Regulatory requirements, including FERC/NERC Standards

  • Material quality standards and practices

  • Environmental performance and impacts

  • Social, judicial and market findings

  • Business continuity and disaster recovery practices
