New page

In the construction industry, ‘supplier’ is a very general term which refers to organisations contracted as part of the delivery of a built asset.

Critical steps in the evaluation and selection process are:

* Step 1: Recognise the need for supplier sourcing.
* Step 2: Determine criteria for supplier sourcing.
* Step 3: Identify sources of potential suppliers.
* Step 4: Shortlist suppliers from selection pool.
* Step 5: Determine methodology to assess and evaluate suppliers.
* Step 6: Evaluate and select the supplier.
* Step 7: Contract/agreement signing with the selected supplier.

The precise criteria for selecting suppliers will differ according to the requirements of the contractor and project, and should be defined by a cross-discipline team.

Some of the most common criteria that are used to select suppliers include the following:

Process and design capabilities

The supplier should have previous experience with the product/service, and should have the capability to produce as required. Different manufacturing and service processes have strengths and weaknesses which the contractor should be aware of.

Quality and reliability

The product/service should be of a sufficiently high quality or to the specifications agreed upon. The supplier should also be assessed on their reliability, as long delivery lead-times can have a knock-on effect on the construction programme.

Total cost assessment

Total supplier costs should be assessed, including the product/service cost, ordering cost, logistics costs, maintenance costs, delivery charge, and so on.

Service

The ability of the supplier to provide an appropriate level of service, such as technical support post-purchase. What value added does the supplier offer?

Capacity

The ability of the supplier to meet current and potential future capacity requirements in accordance with the required delivery schedule.

Location

The geographical location of a supplier is an important factor as it affects the delivery lead-time, as well as transport and logistics costs. Location of suppliers was one of the primary factors behind the tech giant Apple shifting its manufacturing base from the United States to China.

Management capability

This includes the supplier’s track record on business-performance improvement, the management’s commitment to continuous improvement of their processes and standards, and their ability to maintain good relationships with their clients.

Financial stability

The financial stability of the supplier should be assessed as a means of determining whether they will continue to be a reliable source of supply or whether they are a risk to the project.

Ordering system

The robustness and sophistication of the ordering system can impact on supply chain performance, and therefore should be as easy and efficient as possible, with short delivery lead times.

Environmental compliance

Whether or not the supplier is fully compliant with environmental regulations.

Longer-term relationship

Suppliers should be assessed on whether they have the potential of being a long-term partner, with the willingness of sharing technologies and information in a mutually beneficial manner.

Some of the methods that can be used as a means of determining how a supplier fits the criteria listed above include the following:

* Obtaining financial information, such as a publically-available report.
* Providing specifications and requesting a formal quote from the supplier.
* Arranging a meeting or visit to the supplier.
* On-site assessment, written survey, or request for a certificate of quality so as to confirm quality system status.
* Enquiring for feedback from other clients.
* Assessing industry databases or reviews.
* Evaluation of samples obtained by the supplier.
