Supplier qualification should test whether claims are supported by records and whether the supplier can consistently deliver the defined material, documentation and change communication.
What procurement and laboratory teams should review
Verify legal identity, contact information and role in the supply chain
Review product, batch and document traceability
Assess quality procedures, deviations, complaints and change control
Evaluate delivery history, responsiveness and business continuity
Verify the scope behind every compliance term
COA, GMP, DMF, LOA, audit and quality agreement describe different evidence or responsibilities. Their relevance depends on the product, manufacturing stage, jurisdiction and buyer’s intended research or development pathway.
- Ask which legal entity, site, material and operation a claim covers.
- Verify confidential-file reference procedures separately from product release.
- Document outsourced roles, change notification and destination responsibilities.
Questions to resolve before quotation or release
- Which activities are performed directly and which are subcontracted?
- Can sample documents be matched to actual lots?
- How are significant changes and quality events communicated?
