Supplier Performance Scorecard

Evaluate an appointed supplier after delivery with this editable supplier performance scorecard. Event teams capture the event context and rate completed quality, timeliness and communications in the Tracker, then retain the outcome for review. It is a post-delivery evaluation tool, not a bid-comparison workbook for choosing a supplier and not a contract or payment administration system. Use evidence from the completed engagement, not prospective proposals.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using the scorecard before appointing a supplier — Use the supplier procurement and bid comparison workbook for pre-award bid scoring.
  • Scoring only on general impressions — Use delivery evidence and specific examples for quality, timeliness and communications notes.
  • Treating the scorecard as a payment tracker — Manage deposits, balances and milestone owners in the contract and payment milestone tracker.
