Solution
In my role working in Saudi Aramco, I was able to identify a concern which conflicted with legislations set by the organisation. In specific, an issue was noted evidencing on pay disparity of people who were doing the same job. Further, some of the employees had noted that they ended up receiving their payment late while others were receiving it on time.
The noted issue was against Saudi Labour Law and the Equality Act 2010 which require all employees not to be discriminated in pay due to possession of protected characteristics.
From my input to obtain detailed information and data to support the concerns raised by the employees, I used in-depth communication process. Through being able to obtain sufficient data, information and evidence I utilised good communication channel. A case example, considering whistleblowing on the issues of payment offered to the employees despite of executing similar roles, it is important to designate their operations such as suggestion box and assure anonymity. The process which I used to communicate was also made successful since I used social media platforms and technology to communicate effectively.
Example of Unethical Issue
Working in Saudi Aramco, an unethical issue had been identified where there were cases of manipulation of pay reimbursed to employees.
Breaching Ethical Code– Working in Saudi Aramco, after COVID-19 pandemic emerged, employees were offered with a chance of participating in flexible/remote working. The organisation took a holistic charge in facilitating and supporting the remote working process. The areas of facilitation included subscribing for internet, different systems used such as Zoom and Microsoft 365. There were expectations that the entire incurred costs in implementing the remote working would increase significantly. The employees had been identified to have manipulated/altered the accurate amount which required to be paid. Their action of taking money with false pretence represent unethical issue.
The procedure of raising the issue;
- Active engagement of senior admin and management for a discussion
- Documenting entire issues of suspicion, misappropriation of funds
- Approaching all parties professionally
- Initiating a communication plan to be followed in management of unethical issue

Executive Summary
The significance of the set of terms and conditions chosen from XXX organisation has been assessed in relation to its impact on the organisation. This pertains to the domains of potential hazards related to subpar quality, time delays, escalated expenses, and unethical conduct in effective administration. In addition, the monitoring and administration of essential performance measures have been taken into consideration by utilising the selected terms and conditions. The terms and conditions can be found in appendix 1 of this report. Ultimately, the concept of "battle of the forms" has been chosen as the most effective approach to reaching a mutual agreement that aligns with an organisation's own terms and conditions. The terms and conditions selected in XXX are utilised in the General Conditions of Purchase, which are standardised T&Cs employed in procuring services for the organization. This applies regardless of the quantity of resources utilised in the order, the associated risks, and the specific requirements.
The findings in this report demonstrate that their terms and conditions are successful in guaranteeing the provision of high-quality services to XXX. This involves improving the supply process in a timely manner while ensuring that ethical considerations are properly addressed. An optimal approach also includes utilising these terms and conditions to address performance concerns and assess progress. In order to address the issue of conflicting terms and conditions in the "battle of the forms," the terms and conditions of various suppliers are compared and analysed beforehand to ensure that they are aligned and consistent. In order to fulfill the desired objective of the report, many analytical methods such as the Mendelow Matrix, risk register, contract management cycle, and assessment of the value and impact of vulnerability and risks were employed, following the guidance provided by the CIPS Module Notes.
Based on the results and conclusions, several recommendations might be derived. These include:
- Expand the terms and conditions by adding additional clauses to make them more comprehensive.
- Verify that the suppliers selected have prior experience in providing comparable services to prevent battle of the forms.
- Include provisions in the terms and conditions that align with relevant KSA legislations to enhance their applicability.
- Conduct a benchmark analysis on top-performing organisations in the oil and energy industry in the KSA to enhance their terms and conditions
- Enhance the expertise of the PS&M teams to effectively manage the terms and conditions without encountering significant difficulties.

The relevance of this project was informed by the fact that with the organisation having a large scale of operations with multiple end users, SRM is a significant issue. Also, the organisation operating in both local and international operations with multiple suppliers and spend areas to be coordinated. The outcome of this would be to promote and improve SRM for aligning with Oxy organisation strategic objectifies, supply chain function being strategic integral partner as opposed to just transactional player. Owing to the importance of SRM improvement, the different outcomes would entail;
- Enhanced Suppliers Performance- With an upward of 50,000 orders annually with 40% valued more than 5 million Omanis and 50% 20 Million Omanis, failure to timely settle invoices, demand for high quality materials and minimising effects would be considered.
- Cost savings- With improved SRM, it is possible for Oxy to negotiate appropriate terms, lower procurement costs (5 Rights not currently achieved) hence working below targets and lead times delivery reduced and achieving economies of scale.
- Increased efficiency- improved and streamlined SRM improve operational efficiency, reducing wastes in administration process for SRM (25% of entire suppliers pay delayed)
- Risk mitigation- this include identification of risks linked with suppliers such as dissatisfaction, financial instability and geopolitical challenges
- Oxy organisation PS&M is supposed to come up with appropriate systems and techniques for improvement of SRM
- Oxy organisation need to make sure they use various automations including AI and robotics for improving collaboration and SRM efficiency.
- Facilitate policies management for improving their operations in onshore and offshore operations with an improved SRM
- Short courses on SRM need to be provided starting with PS&M leadership to achieve 50% increase in awareness of SRM improvements areas.
- Stakeholders relations improved by leveraging on available technologies of communication and interaction.
- Ensure there is 70% increase in budget on SRM improvements
