Supplier Evaluation & Re-evaluation Form

Overview

Clause 8.4 requires you to evaluate, select, monitor performance, and re-evaluate external providers. This form helps you document this process objectively.

Sections

1. Initial Evaluation (New Suppliers)

• Criteria: Quality certifications (ISO 9001), financial stability, capacity, references, price.
• Decision: Approved, Conditionally Approved, or Rejected.

2. Periodic Re-evaluation (Existing Suppliers)

• Performance Data: On-time delivery rate, quality rejection rate, responsiveness to issues.
• Scoring: A weighted score to rank suppliers (e.g., A, B, C).
• Action: Continue, Probation, or Disqualify.

Best Practice

Don’t treat all suppliers the same. Focus your evaluation efforts on “critical” suppliers—those whose failure would significantly impact your product or customer.
