Envision affiliate providers serve the needs of customers across diverse geographies and demographics. The Envision procurement team recognizes that we best support caregivers by procuring products and services from certified diversity suppliers who create a positive economic impact in the communities we serve.
Envision seeks the best-valued, highest-quality products and services by encouraging competition among all suppliers. When we evaluate suppliers, we look for industry expertise, market insight, product quality, capability to deliver, demonstrated customer service excellence and financial stability. We ensure that each product and service is legally compliant, and our suppliers are regularly assessed for performance, quality and delivery standards.
Envision is committed to actively seek and provide opportunity for small and disadvantaged businesses, minority business enterprises, women-owned and veteran-owned businesses to effectively compete for our business. We have an existing network of hundreds of diverse tier-one suppliers and we continue to look for new ones.
Envision is also committed to tier-two diversity opportunities. Primary suppliers who conduct business with Envision are expected to demonstrate their commitment to diversity through supplier diversity programs that quantitatively measure their purchases of goods and services from certified diversity suppliers.
