Competitive Pricing and Practices

Integrys Energy Group recognizes the value of material supply sources and welcomes inquiries from new suppliers and contractors of demonstrated ability. Requests to be qualified as a bidder shall be directed to:

Supply Chain Services Department
PO Box 19002
Green Bay, WI 54307-9002

The Supply Chain Services Department and the appropriate internal team jointly determine acceptable bidders. Performance in the areas of quality, service and delivery will be of overriding importance in the evaluation. Those suppliers who fail to maintain acceptable standards of performance will be so advised and may be removed from the company's list of bidders.

We solicit confidential written bids from qualified suppliers and contractors when practical. The decision to apply the competitive bidding process to an individual purchase is dependent on the value, quantity and availability of material and services as well as the design, performance requirements and the degree of competition available. The formal bidding procedure, therefore, may be waived as warranted by these conditions as well as for emergencies and small value items.

Bid requests will contain the necessary specifications, drawings, technical data, etc. All suppliers and contractors will be given identical information, including a bidding deadline. It is expected that your best price will be quoted. Bids should be on a firm basis or must contain sufficient data to allow for a thorough analysis and competitive evaluation of any variables. Alternate proposals may be considered, but bidders should bid in accordance with basic specifications first.

Bid openings are private and pricing and proposal data is kept confidential. The Company reserves the right to reject any or all bids. After receipt of a Purchase Order, the supplier should direct all subsequent communications about deliveries, invoicing and related matters to the Supply Chain Services Department, with reference to the purchase order number.
