SayPro Templates to Use:
Supplier Performance Tracking Template: A tool to monitor the performance of suppliers, comparing it against the agreed-upon terms in the contract
Supplier Performance Tracking Template:
1. Supplier Information
- Supplier Name:
(The full name of the supplier or vendor.) - Supplier ID/Code:
(Internal reference or ID assigned to the supplier by SayPro.) - Contract Number:
(The reference number for the contract under which the supplier is providing goods or services.) - Contract Period:
(The contract’s start and end dates.) - Product/Service Provided:
(Specify the goods or services the supplier is contracted to deliver.) - Responsible Buyer/Manager:
(The internal contact responsible for managing the supplier relationship at SayPro.)
2. Performance Metrics
The following performance metrics should be tracked regularly to assess how well the supplier is fulfilling their contractual obligations.
- On-time Delivery Rate:
(Percentage of orders delivered on or before the agreed-upon date, in accordance with the contract’s delivery schedule.)- Target: (State target delivery timeframe, e.g., 95% of orders on-time.)
- Actual Performance: (Percentage of deliveries completed on-time.)
- Quality Assurance Compliance:
(Assessment of whether the goods or services delivered meet the quality standards specified in the contract.)- Target: (Define the quality standard or pass/fail rate required, e.g., 98% compliance.)
- Actual Performance: (Percentage of deliveries meeting the quality standards.)
- Quantity Compliance:
(Monitor whether the quantity delivered matches the quantity ordered, ensuring no discrepancies in order size.)- Target: (e.g., 100% accurate quantity delivered.)
- Actual Performance: (Percentage of correct quantities delivered.)
- Cost Adherence:
(Track whether the supplier adheres to the agreed-upon pricing and whether any cost overruns have occurred.)- Target: (E.g., price adherence within the agreed-upon contract value.)
- Actual Performance: (Percentage of orders delivered within the budgeted cost.)
- Responsiveness and Communication:
(Evaluate how quickly and effectively the supplier responds to inquiries, resolves issues, and provides updates.)- Target: (E.g., 24-hour response time for urgent inquiries.)
- Actual Performance: (Average response time or satisfaction level.)
- Compliance with Safety/Environmental Standards:
(Ensure that the supplier is complying with any safety, environmental, or ethical standards as outlined in the contract.)- Target: (E.g., 100% compliance with all environmental regulations.)
- Actual Performance: (Percentage of compliance.)

(Assess how well the supplier manages and mitigates risks associated with supply disruptions, quality issues, or safety concerns.)- Target: (E.g., no more than 1 risk event per quarter.)
- Actual Performance: (Number of risk events or disruptions that occurred.)
3. Supplier Performance Rating
A performance rating scale can be used to evaluate the overall supplier performance over a defined period (e.g., monthly, quarterly). Ratings can be assigned for each of the metrics above and then averaged for an overall score.
- Performance Rating Scale:
- 5 – Excellent: Exceeds contract terms and expectations.
- 4 – Good: Meets contract terms with minor issues.
- 3 – Satisfactory: Meets basic contract terms but with some issues.
- 2 – Poor: Frequently fails to meet contract terms.
- 1 – Unacceptable: Fails to meet contract terms, requiring immediate corrective action.
Overall Supplier Performance Rating:
- (Based on the average of the individual metrics or weighted by their importance to SayPro’s goals.)
4. Key Performance Issues & Action Items
- Issue Summary:
(Identify and summarize any performance issues or deviations from contract terms. This could include delays in delivery, non-compliance with quality standards, or failure to meet cost expectations.) - Root Cause Analysis:
(Analyze and document the underlying causes of the performance issues. For example, is it due to the supplier’s internal process, external factors, or misunderstanding of contract terms?) - Corrective Actions:
(Define the corrective actions to be taken to address the issues. This might include renegotiating terms, setting new performance targets, or providing supplier training or support.) - Action Owner:
(Identify the internal or external stakeholder responsible for ensuring the corrective actions are implemented.) - Timeline for Resolution:
(Specify a deadline or timeline for resolving performance issues and ensuring the supplier improves performance.) - Follow-Up Actions:
(Outline any ongoing monitoring or follow-up steps required to ensure the corrective actions are successful.)
5. Contract Compliance and Amendments
- Contract Compliance:
(Evaluate if the supplier is adhering to the specific terms of the contract, including timelines, pricing, delivery standards, and other negotiated terms.) - Amendments/Changes to Terms:
(If any amendments, contract renegotiations, or extensions are required due to performance issues, note these here. Any changes to the original agreement should be clearly documented.) - Supplier Suggestions for Improvement:
(Include any recommendations or suggestions from the supplier for improving the performance, process, or relationship moving forward.)
6. Monthly/Quarterly Review Summary
- Performance Summary for the Period:
(Provide an overall assessment of the supplier’s performance during the tracking period—monthly, quarterly, etc.) - Overall Rating:
(Provide an overall rating for the supplier based on the performance evaluation.) - Recommendations for the Next Period:
(Based on the supplier’s performance, provide recommendations for improving future engagements. This could include suggestions for more regular communication, re-negotiation of terms, or additional performance incentives.) - Next Steps:
(Define next steps, whether it’s corrective actions, renegotiation of terms, or continuing the supplier relationship under the current contract.)
7. Conclusion and Approval
- Review and Approval:
(Specify who will review the performance report and give final approval for any corrective actions or next steps.) - Sign-Off:
(Space for signatures or electronic approvals from SayPro stakeholders, such as contract managers, procurement officers, or the supplier account manager.)
Conclusion
The Supplier Performance Tracking Template is a vital tool for maintaining oversight and accountability in SayPro’s supplier management process. By regularly tracking supplier performance, identifying issues, and taking corrective actions where necessary, SayPro ensures that its supplier network consistently meets the agreed-upon standards and contractual obligations. This systematic approach also supports informed decision-making for supplier selection and long-term strategic relationships.
