Vendor management challenges

Construction companies are relying on increasingly complex supply chains, which puts pressure on operational teams to prequalify vendors, manage HSEQ compliance, social impacts and performance across multiple projects. Some common risks include:


  • Suppliers' insurance and licenses expiring while engaged
  • Operational teams circumventing procurement processes
  • No central source of truth for vendor business and compliance information
  • Project teams and suppliers spending time on low-value tasks

No control over the sourcing process

Geographically dispersed teams are caught up in inefficient or non-transparent sourcing processes. Meanwhile, time sensitive requirements often result in shortcuts when it comes to compliance.


  • Increased project costs due to non-competitive bidding processes
  • Project delays as a result of cumbersome internal approval processes
  • Significant time spent evaluating quotes based on price, Indigenous/local engagement, financial stability etc.
  • Centre-led procurement processes being ignored
