Hi all; Im involved in discussions about pre-qualification of suppliers.
I'm being told we have to pre-qualify our suppliers and I have to come up with some criteria for pre-qualifcation.
My view is that pre-qualification takes place when suppliers complete the forms required by finance to get paid and they then go on the suppliers list maintained by finance.
I am saying that evulation of suppliers takes place after they have been engaged and are on the job suppling goods and services and yes; we have must a criteria for evaluating them but this does not need to be documented by the standard but perhaps its useful to do so in a project plan or in the quality manual to please the customer.
I am also saying that we maintain records of evulation through the project or work scope closure report.
The standard states:
Am I right?

The standard states:
The organization shall evaluate and select suppliers based on their ability to supply product in accordance with the organization's requirements. Criteria for selection, evaluation and re-evaluation shall be established. Records of the results of evaluations and any necessary actions arising from the evaluation shall be maintained
Am I right?
