Compare vendors
Prepare a tender with multiple vendors and a shared assessment basis.
Access: assessment creation. Subject to enabled modules and your plan.
Goal and prerequisites
Use Vendor Comparisons to examine vendors within a common assessment basis. Comparison must be enabled for your organization. You need access to the vendors and assessment-creation permission.
Prepare a comparison
- Define the business need and decision criteria before contacting vendors.
- Open Reviews → Vendor Comparisons and start creation.
- Select the vendors to compare.
- Choose common questionnaires and complete the requested details.
- Check permissions and confirm.
Use the comparison
Open the tender details to review its assessments. Compare responses using equivalent scopes. A missing response and a negative response need different interpretations.
Consider the score alongside business criticality, evidence and assessment date. Document open points before making a decision.
Expected outcome
You have a shared basis for reviewing each vendor’s responses. If a vendor is missing, check your access and its existence in the register. If the workspace is hidden, see Feature availability.
