Supplier selection is easier when the evaluation is structured. These questions separate a promising conversation from a workable partnership.

Portfolio questions

  • Is the portfolio published and consistent?
  • Are strengths, dosage forms and pack presentations stated clearly?
  • Do product images represent actual packs?

Commercial questions

  • Who is the single point of contact for business enquiries?
  • How long does a first substantive reply take?
  • Is there a parent company or group behind the brand?

Relationship questions

  • Are commitments realistic and specific?
  • Is documentation handled professionally?
  • Does the supplier avoid unverifiable claims?
