ILLUSTRATIVE OUTLINE — FOR SCOPING DISCUSSION

Supplier engagement plan and briefing kit

An illustrative plan for making opportunities and participation requirements easier for suppliers to understand.

1. Audience and channels
The supplier groups, communication channels and access barriers to consider.

2. Opportunity briefing
Clear information about scope, participation steps, decision processes and where to ask questions.

3. Feedback and follow-up
Ways to capture supplier questions, route responses and improve future outreach.

A USEFUL STARTING POINT
- The opportunities or purchasing categories you expect to discuss.
- Existing supplier communications and published participation requirements.
- The roles authorized to answer questions and the procurement timetable.

WHAT WE AGREE BEFORE STARTING
- Outreach must respect the communication and fairness requirements of any active solicitation.
- Engagement activities do not imply endorsement, prequalification or a promise of future work.

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