ILLUSTRATIVE OUTLINE — FOR SCOPING DISCUSSION

Supplier diversity program brief

An illustrative deliverable for connecting supplier participation goals to procurement practices and responsible measurement.

1. Current-state review
Spend categories, purchasing pathways and participation barriers within the agreed scope.

2. Program design
Definitions, governance, outreach approaches and proposed changes to purchasing practices.

3. Measurement approach
Information sources, verification responsibilities and indicators with clearly stated limitations.

A USEFUL STARTING POINT
- Your procurement objectives and the purchasing categories in scope.
- Aggregate purchasing information and a summary of current supplier processes.
- Existing supplier definitions, participation commitments and governance requirements.

WHAT WE AGREE BEFORE STARTING
- Supplier eligibility and any certification claims need an agreed verification process.
- Advice does not guarantee supplier participation, contract awards or eligibility under a particular procurement program.

Final methods, contents and responsibilities are agreed in your proposal.
