Vendor Risk Assessment Template

A structured template for assessing vendor and supplier risk before you sign, not after something goes wrong.

What’s Inside
  • Weighted scoring framework
    A four-dimension model covering financial stability, delivery capacity, compliance history, and ethical standing
  • Pre-qualification questionnaire
    The 24 questions to answer before shortlisting any supplier
  • Reference check script
    Structured questions that surface real performance issues, not testimonial noise
  • Site visit checklist
    What to inspect, what to document, what should stop a deal
  • Contract clause library
    Protective clauses for termination, performance failure, and force majeure specific to development contexts
  • Quarterly review template
    How to monitor supplier risk after award, not just before
  • Escalation protocol
    When supplier issues become fraud risk, and who to notify
  • Worked example: Northbridge Solutions
    A full assessment using the framework, showing how weighted scoring surfaces risks that intuition misses
