Procurement process

You don’t need to come to OT office and present your products/services, you can send information on
your products and services by email procurement@ot.mn.

Suppliers wishing to submit their intent to participate in competitive tenders or to supply services
to OT will be subject to pre-qualification to process which is initial part of OT Supplier
Qualification process. This process is embedded in Oyu Supplier Database. A successful
pre-qualification result would enable the suppliers to be informed of tender announcements and to
move onto the full qualification phase when supplier is fully engaged with OT.

You can find procurement related documents from OT website www.ot.mn – Procurement and section “How
we work”.

It is important to understand the difference between EOI and Tender. It is common that suppliers get
confused about these two procurement terms.
Expression of Interest: An EOI is only a preliminary step to a formal tender process to understand
and identify whether there are potential suppliers in the market that are interested in and capable
of satisfying the needs of the business.
Tender: Tender activity takes place after EOI is completed. Based on suppliers’ submitted materials
for EOI participation, Oyu Tolgoi Procurement team shortlists the number of EOI responses and build
a Bidders List. Then these shortlisted suppliers receive tender invites via Ariba system.
