Supplier Due Diligence

Know your suppliers and the risks your carrying

Procurato’s Supplier Due Diligence gives you a clear, comprehensive view of your supplier base so you can manage risk, improve performance and future-proof your suppler chain.

Why is Supplier Due Diligence Important?

Supplier Due Diligence is the cornerstone of a resilient and well-governed supply chain. Whether you’re onboarding new suppliers, inheriting them through M&A, or reviewing your existing base, we assess suppliers to ensure they are financially stable, legally compliant, and capable of delivering on their commitments.

Supplier due diligence is particularly critical during moments of change. Whether you are acquiring a new entity, preparing for integration, or assessing a potential portfolio company as a private equity or venture capital investor, a robust review of suppliers helps you understand risks, uncover potential opportunities, and anticipate challenges before they impact performance. It ensures you enter the next stage with clarity and stay one step ahead in your procurement and supply chain initiatives.

Our approach goes beyond simple risk checks. We assess capacity, performance, and long-term alignment with your business requirements – helping you identify vulnerabilities, highlight opportunities, and build a supply chain you can trust.

How it helps your business

Our Supplier Risk Assessment Approach

How it works

We begin by gathering data on your supplier base and the products and services they provide. Where applicable, we use our risk management solution, SpendQube, to engage with suppliers and collect all necessary data, improving efficiency, keeping all information in one place, and supporting effective triage and decision-making.

Next, we run a comprehensive, multi-dimensional assessment that goes beyond basic risk checks. We evaluate financial stability, regulatory compliance, ESG performance, operational resilience, capacity and capability, and alignment with your strategic objectives. Where relevant, we also consider factors such as cybersecurity, ethical practices, and reputation risk. We also take into account new regulations, such as DORA, to ensure your organisation is fully prepared and compliant with the latest regulatory requirements.

Our methodology combines quantitative analysis such as financial metrics and third-party data with qualitative insights from interviews, supplier questionnaires, and stakeholder input. This creates a balanced, evidence-based view of supplier performance and risk.

Finally, we compile our findings into a detailed report. Procurato can further work with you to prioritise actions, from addressing high-risk suppliers to strengthening key partnerships, so that your team is equipped to act with confidence.
