Project Summary
Supplier appraisal (sometimes referred to as supplier evaluation), whether conducted for the sake of a specific project or part of the on-going running of the day-to-day business of any company, is a key task of the procurement professional.
It may be viewed as being both a pre- and post-contract activity, and lead to more efficient and effective management of the supplier base. This in turn can foster greater organizational competitiveness.

Project Description
IT suppliers' appraisal is a time-consuming and risky process. Experts retained by Airsource Partners in various domains will help you save time and money while lowering your risks in the selection of the IT vendors most adapted to your needs, environment and budget.
Supplier appraisal can be defined as a rigorous assessment of a potential supplier’s capability of controlling quality (delivery, quantity, price, and all other factors to be embedded in a project or contract).
Appraisals are typically carried out during the pre-contract phase of supplier sourcing. The benefits of supplier appraisals include determining that:
=> The supplying organization has the same culture and ambitions as the buying organization
=> The management teams at both organizations are on the same wave length, and
=> The supplying organization has the capacity for operational expansion in line with business requirements.
An evaluation of the supplier will also form part of a strategic analysis process, and identify the gap between current performance and future performance that is required. The process of appraising suppliers may also be referred to as supplier evaluation.
At the operational level, information gained from supplier appraisals will demonstrate the supplier’s level of operational efficiency. Performance gaps identified can be managed by the buying and supplying teams. Appraisals may also involve analysis of supplier scorecards.
At the strategic level, supplier appraisals may identify which of all potential suppliers available to develop further, perhaps develop a more strategic relationship with.
Suppliers’ appraisal is however a time-consuming task requiring availability, specific skills and a deep knowledge of the industry and market segments concerned for limited immediate results. Also, time and budget constraints often limit the scope of the appraisals conducted internally by the company.
Airsource Partners can help you maintaining this phase of the selection process the importance it requires. Suppliers appraisals will be conducted by experienced experts and consultants selected for their past track records, experience and knowledge of the industry and products in consideration. Pre-appraisal meetings and discussions will be held between Airsource Partners and the management team of the company on the company premises.
Following the appraisal process a detailed report containing clear recommendations and suggestions will be submitted to the company. Whenever possible a joint supplier appraisal conducted for the benefit of several companies will be envisioned. This joint action will allow cost reductions and a synergy of human and material resources invested in the appraisal.
