Balfour Beatty, the international engineering construction and services group, has adopted the Burns Business Exchange (beX) electronic trading service for its regular UK suppliers. Balfour Beatty, who currently spends over £2 billion annually with over 10,000 suppliers, estimates that half of the 965,000 purchase invoices processed each year will be managed by beX within the next 3 years. Previously,Balfour Beatty’s purchasing procedures were primarily paper based. The first phase, which started in August 2001, involves an internal trading community of six divisions of Balfour Beatty: construction, power networks, specialist holdings, rail maintenance, rail projects and plant division.
