Third-party & Procurement Governance
What must suppliers prove before—and after—we depend on them?
Make AI-specific evidence, rights, responsibilities and exit conditions part of market engagement, evaluation, contracting and ongoing supplier management.
Operating principles
What good
looks like.
No accountability gap
Outsourcing technology does not outsource organisational responsibility.
Control material change
Model, data, hosting and subcontractor changes trigger notification and review.
Plan the exit
Continuity, data return, deletion, portability and safe transition are designed early.
Put it into practice
Make it
operational.
Specify assurance needs
Request documentation proportionate to intended use and consequence.
Evaluate in context
Validate performance, integration and workflow impact with representative data and users.
Contract for control
Set audit, incident, change, data-use, retention, IP and termination terms.
Monitor the relationship
Review service evidence, vulnerabilities, drift, incidents and material changes.
Minimum evidence set
Make the decision
reviewable.
