Supplier Evaluation Checklist

Carbon Bike Supplier Evaluation Checklist

Use this checklist to compare suppliers by project fit and evidence, not by headline price alone.

1. Supplier role

Identify the legal entity, production role, subcontracted operations, and who controls drawings, tooling, inspection, and shipment.

2. Exact product scope

Record the product, model, size, configuration, revision, included parts, packaging, and destination market.

3. Evidence

Request applicable specifications, geometry or interface information, sample notes, quality records, and product or compliance documents for the exact model.

4. Commercial scope

Compare inclusions, exclusions, assumptions, quotation date, MOQ, payment, delivery responsibility, and unresolved questions only when confirmed in writing.

5. Sample and release

Inspect the sample against the approved record, log non-conformances, and document the final release decision before scaling.

Use the official Sunremo supplier evaluation sheet and RFQ resources for project preparation. Supplier and product claims must be confirmed for the exact order.
