Abstract

This report contains a checklist template you can use when preparing for a vendor negotiation.

Use this checklist to summarise the key facets of a vendor relationship:

Current state of the relationship
Demand, drivers and spend
Key stakeholders and user expressions of value
Competitive landscape
Service performance, risks and mitigations
Scenario planning, negotiating levers and desired outcomes

This version of the template is populated with sample content to get you started.

As part of Jinfo’s Focus on Content Portfolio, Product Evaluation and Scorecards provide detailed descriptions and methodologies for assessing and scoring products in specific use-case scenarios. When used in conjunction with this template, these approaches ensure a consistent methodology for documenting the management of key resources across a product portfolio.
