This checklist helps verify supplier evaluation and selection, control of external providers and contractors, OH&S criteria, and monitoring of performance. Review sample purchase orders for correct specifications, revisions, and legal or client requirements; confirm AVL approvals, kickoff meetings for critical suppliers, and management review of supplier feedback. Validate authorisation levels, job number traceability, and compliance for subcontracted activities.
