Orders and Payments

Dear Supplier,

In 2021, we began the transition journey of our purchasing and procurement platform, aiming to provide more agility, simplification, and better relationships with suppliers. Internally, we changed the way we create “shopping carts” in the requisition and approval processes, which averages the issuance of 4,000 documents per month.

Additionally, we implemented a new catalog-based purchasing method for acquiring various materials, such as office supplies, electrical materials, cleaning supplies, construction materials, furniture, appliances, manual and electric tools, electronics, measuring instruments, chemicals, EPC/PPE, and items for laboratories, load handling, building maintenance, industrial repairs, and personal and environmental hygiene.

Regarding external interfaces, at the end of 2022, we migrated the functionality for transactions related to invoices, fiscal notes, and purchase orders of goods from the Petronect Portal to another platform, where an average of 89,000 fiscal documents were processed monthly, with 11,700 suppliers joining the platform.

Throughout 2024, we focused on implementing and scaling the use of the new platform for the procurement process within the limits for exemption from bidding due to value, but we were not successful. Therefore, we decided to close the implementation project, keeping only what was already implemented. Thus, the procurement of goods and services for Petrobras will continue to be carried out through the Petronect Portal.

Our journey toward greater agility, simplification, and better relationships with suppliers in our purchasing and procurement platform continues, and we will promptly communicate any new developments along the way.
