About this Document

The purpose of the Supplier Relationship Management Plan is to document the key activities and tasks required to manage this supplier to ensure an optimal outcome related to the supplier relationship is achieved.

The plan describes how [COMPANY] and the supplier will work together from an overall business perspective to ensure strong communication with a continuous improvement mindset is achieved, in turn minimising the overall risk presented by [COMPANY’s] reliance of the supplier.

This plan will be used by [COMPANY] to review the performance of the supplier, monitor the achievement of the contract outcomes and ensure key stakeholders are involved at the appropriate levels of engagement.

The SRM Lead is accountable for development of this plan and must ensure the plan is updated regularly to ensure key information is current.  It is recommended to refresh the plan every six months for key supplier relationships; however, this may be more frequent if new contracts are awarded or the risk profile changes for the relationship.
