Ara Supplier Information

Supplier relationships are important to us.

Ara buyers will purchase goods or services from suppliers by generating a purchase order using our Unimarket procurement system.  The purchase order will automatically be emailed to the supplier - refer to our general terms and conditions

As an Ara supplier you can register on our Unimarket site to track transactions, process your invoices (this is optional) and receive request for quotes from our buyers.  You can also load your catalogue on our Unimarket site or link our buyers to your catalogue on your site.  If you are not already registered and would like to register, please contact finance@ara.ac.nz. Please note registration does not guarantee future business however it does enable us to purchase from you more easily. Further information on Unimarket, can be found on their supplier help page.

Supplier invoices are paid weekly on a Friday, and we will send remittances to the email address we have been provided.

If you have any questions regarding the procurement process, please contact finance@ara.ac.nz
