Valenta's Third Party Vendor Management Process

Third-Party-Vendor-Management

Planning Phase

Critical to the success of vendor management, the planning phase is focused on vendor requirements including scope of work and deliverables and the development of planning checklists to ensure all key stakeholder requirements are met. Digitisation of this process can be developed (if not already) to streamline planning. Valenta will create processes to ensure a robust program; for example linking the Expense Request Process (ERP) to ensure it communicates with the third party risk management tool, if appropriate. Further to this, vendor portals or document depositories can add immense value, and reduce this time consuming part of vendor management. Create structures to safeguard the foundation for selection.

Risk Classification

Including both MRA and IRA, Valenta offers world-class resources that can review or setup the most appropriate framework for risk classification. In line with best practices, and utilising digitisation and automation to streamline processes, risk can also be minimised through a highly structured globally proven blue-print. Our risk classification procedures will provide greater transparency, and a more in-depth understanding of risk, in a faster, more efficient way.

Due Diligence and Selection

Offering extensive pre-contract guidance for assessing and managing the dimensions of risk associated with third party relationships. Understand your risk landscape through the due diligence phase and make the right vendor selection.

What do our client's say?

  • Since engaging Valenta, we’ve been able to take on a much higher work load. We’ve been able to bring someone into the team for a lower cost, but without compromising on that quality of work. Outsourcing has been a great solution compared to hiring somebody locally. It’s a lot more cost effective and it’s easy to do.

  • Valenta has been great, because it allows us to expand and contract our operations, depending on the time of the year, very effortlessly and inexpensively. It’s allowed us to make decisions that we know we can scale quickly on because we know that Jayesh and the Valenta team will be there for us.
