Who we are
Our suppliers

Suppliers and sub-contractors are a critical part of what G4S UK & Ireland delivers to its customers and those in its care. As a result it is essential that G4S partners with the best companies and organisations across the UK & Ireland.

G4S spends approximately £300M a year with suppliers and sub-contractors, giving business to thousands of SMEs across the region.

The G4S UK and Ireland Procurement team strive to engage with suppliers who meet the high industry standards (technical, financial and ethical) as set out in their selection processes.

If you are interested in supplying G4S, you can find more information on our supplier code of conduct and our Standard Terms and Conditions on this site.

Our supplier database

G4S has invested in moving our UK businesses onto common ERP and e-Procurement systems and formed a new single Financial Shared Service Centre (FSSC).

The purpose is to streamline our finance and procurement processes and ensure we operate to common policies and procedures across all our UK businesses. This should ensure we have cost effective and efficient means of transacting with all our suppliers to the benefit of both parties. We have implemented a new Supplier database, using the Ariba Commerce Cloud in order to centralise and verify our supplier via a secure self-service portal. This ensures that the information that we hold about the organisations who supply us is accurate and complete.

It aims to increase our awareness of our suppliers complete service offering and capability. Through this information G4S has the capability to undertake the necessary due diligence on existing and future suppliers.

Supplier diversity, equity & inclusion

At G4S we would like to learn more about diversely owned suppliers that have an interest in working with our business.

As an organisation, we are keen to help support businesses that are diversely owned as this helps us to support and build sustainable businesses in the communities we operate. Companies like your own can help us foster innovation, create flexibility and drive cost efficiencies throughout our supply chain.

More information about our supplier diversity programme can be found on our dedicated webpage.
