Opening your learning…
Qualify a new supplier and place the first order
Your brand needs a second source for one product family within three months. You shortlist, audit, compare quotations and place a trial order.
Who this is for: Sourcing and procurement staff, supplier quality and compliance teams.
What you produce: A supplier qualification file: prequalification criteria, audit findings with risk rating, quotation comparison, and the trial-order conditions.
The writing space below is your private draft: it is saved on this device, and to your account when you sign in, and nobody marks it. When your draft is ready, you can submit it in the trainer review section above for written feedback. Review is optional: your certificate depends only on the graded quizzes and the final assessment.
Task 1
Write the prequalification criteria for this product family, and the three that would exclude a supplier outright.
What a good answer contains: A good answer covers capability, capacity, compliance and financial stability, and its exclusions are genuine — for example unremediated safety findings — not preferences.

Task 2
Design the audit: what you verify on site, what evidence you accept, and how you rate the findings.
What a good answer contains: A good answer separates verified evidence from a self-declaration, and rates findings by risk with a remediation deadline and a re-check.

Task 3
Compare two quotations on a like-for-like basis and state what you had to normalise before comparing.
What a good answer contains: A good answer normalises specification, quantity, terms, freight and payment before comparing, and notes any excluded cost that will reappear later.

Task 4
Write the trial order conditions: volume, controls, the review point and the exit if it fails.
What a good answer contains: A good answer limits exposure, defines the measures that decide continuation, and keeps an exit that does not strand the season.
