Well in my experience the suppliers do not necessarily need to be certified to a particular quality standard but must comply with the QMS requirements defined by your organization for its suppliers.
You can use an ISO supplier audit plan and audit them against that, or you could define the QMS required by ISO as a requirement for your suppliers. See how that works? But unless you are a bulk buyer I reckon you don't put such stringent requirements and only what seems important.
On a side note, there are tons of supplier audit samples online. Research a little and make a plan to what is deemed necessary for the supplier to have inorder to comply with your company's requirements.
I hope this helps.
