Self-Assessment Audit Document To review and assess the capability of the suppliers. Initially completed by selected suppliers with an option for NES to follow up any responses and carry out a full process audit at the supplier’s premises. Framework Agreements To develop NES’s supply chain, suppliers can work to achieve ‘Preferred’ status. Criteria include agreeing and signing a formal framework agreement, which forms the foundation of the relationship between NES and the preferred supplier. Service Level Agreements (SLAs) Preferred suppliers performance will be measured against agreed criteria (typically quarterly) that will be outlined in SLAs. This criteria will include delivery performance, quality, payment performance, business levels (e.g. spend), cost reduction and value engineering initiatives.
