Procurement

Oyu Tolgoi’s Procurement department strives to deliver more value to our operations by ensuring a secure supply of services and focusing on total cost of ownership, and development of the in-country supply chain.

Our commitment to maximising national procurement at Oyu Tolgoi serves two purposes:

  • To build and promote a localised, sustainable, quality assured supply chain within Mongolia
  • To meet our Investment Agreement commitments to develop a competitive and skilled Mongolian supplier community

These endeavors support robust Mongolian economic development, and the development of businesses which share Oyu Tolgoi’s commitment to world-class health, safety and environmental performance and management.

Oyu Tolgoi’s procurement activities are governed by transparent policies and procedures to ensure alignment with world-class procurement practices and protocols.
