PAS 7000 Supply Chain Risk Management - Supplier Pre-Qualification Program

 

PAS 7000 Supply Chain Risk Management - Supplier prequalification standard is a supply chain pre-qualification framework that supports procurement activity for businesses of all sizes, all sectors and across the globe.

PAS 7000 standard has been developed in response to clients around the world requesting a universal standard that would combine supplier profiles, capabilities and performance in order to make informed decisions about whether or not to engage with a potential supply chain partner.

Our new standard PAS 7000 helps addresses these issues and specifies a universal package of supplier information to be shared with supply chain partners. This covers, key supplier information, capabilities and performance which will help buyers trace back and secure their supply chains, mitigate risk and brand reputation and for suppliers to promote their products.

The PAS 7000 is integrated into BSI's Supply Chain Verification Auditing Service - VerifEye.
