Vendor Assessment

Non-manufacturing OEMs, who are brand owners but do not have self owned manufacturing of the products can still claim OEM status if they have contract manufacturing arrangements with some other manufacturers. During vendor assessment, Such OEM has to provide the contract/agreement between the OEM and the Contract Manufacturer to the assessing agency. This will be used to derive information about the Ownership of Manufacturing Site (of the Contract Manufacturer), Manufacturing Capacity (The agreement should indicate to what extent it is committed to the OEM), Product Quality concerns (Both the Contract Manufacturer and the OEM have to indicate their quality control plans) and Availability of Raw Material, etc.

From August 1, 2017, it was made necessary to get a Vendor Assessment of the company’s profile and the products that are registered on GeM for offering/sale. It is an important step for evaluating the credentials and quality standards of the seller.
