Strategic Sourcing for Suppliers

Kyndryl uses SAP Strategic Sourcing to execute desired sourcing outcome using a range of RFP and auction tools. 

Kyndryl uses SAP Strategic Sourcing to create sourcing projects or events so you as a potential supplier can compete in the procurement process.

Suppliers will receive email notifications and have options to either accept or decline a sourcing request.

Before accessing sourcing events, you must be registered on SAP Ariba Network using the SAP Ariba login.
