Supplier qualification preparation map

Purpose: to distribute responses and collect confirmations according to the form of the specific customer.

Customer: [name]. Category: [product]. Form: [link, version]. Applicability confirmed: [by whom and when / pending]. Coordinator: [role].

Form field Responsible person Data source Period/unit/scope Prepared response Confirmation Open question Status
[Name] [Role] [Register/document] [Conditions] [Data/no answer] [File, version] [What to clarify] [Done/pending]

Open form of the specific customer: АЗПИ

On AZPI procurement page currently posted in the requirements section supplier questionnaire, PDF. The transition from the page and both pages of the file were checked on October 1, 2026. The form does not state an issue date; before submission, clarify with procurement whether it applies to your category and whether a different package is required.

This example relates to a manufacturer’s preparation for qualification at the buyer’s site. It is not an instruction to a buyer on checking another company and not a list of mandatory documents for any order.

The form fields include information about employees, products, contacts, turnover, order processing, workload and quality. There is no need to transfer its contents into a universal questionnaire. It is better to compile your own response card within the company:

Form section Where to look for data What to check before replying
Employees and contacts Personnel and liaison contacts Cutoff date; who is actually responsible for the topic
Products Head of Department Required item specification and actual constraints
Economic indicators Financial function Period and unit of measure; actual separately from plan
Order processing Planning and logistics What the term starts from, what the stages include
Upload Production function For which line/group and for what date is it calculated
Quality Responsible for quality Applicability and status of confirmations

For example, the number for the packaging lead time cannot be taken from a random quotation. First determine the product and the conditions to which the value applies. If the form does not allow clarification, ask the customer how to reflect the differences correctly. An unfamiliar field is not a reason to invent a confident number.

Sample author letter:

We are preparing information for our company to be considered as a supplier of [product]. We found the questionnaire on the procurement page. Please confirm its current version and applicability to our category, clarify the list of attachments and the agreed submission method. For the [fields], clarification is required: [specific question]. Please assign a contact person for follow-up.

A request for a form and a completed questionnaire do not in themselves mean admission to procurement. The actual review process and decision remain with the specific customer.
