Supplier Assessment Questionnaire template for Google Docs

The first pages of the Supplier Assessment Questionnaire template

Every page (8)

Overview

This supplier due diligence template is a ready-made Google Docs questionnaire for buyers who onboard new suppliers and need the same checks every time. It covers company details, financial standing, quality, ethics, insurance and a signed declaration across eight designed pages, so answers from different suppliers can be compared fairly.

Each page carries sample answers for Castlemere Packaging, a fictional supplier, and is written for Oakhaven Works, a fictional manufacturer. Make your own copy, replace the questions and thresholds with your own, and keep the evidence notes so a challenge can be answered. The declaration should stay as it is.

Useful for

Onboarding a packaging supplier before the first purchase order
Re-checking an existing supplier after a change of ownership
Screening three bidders for a cleaning contract before interviews

Company details page with a summary of key facts

Questions

Are the suppliers and people real?

No. Castlemere Packaging, Oakhaven Works, its people and every figure are fictional sample data, written to show a finished questionnaire.

Can I use it for a services supplier?

Yes. Keep the finance, ethics and insurance sections, then replace the quality checks with service levels, staff vetting and continuity plans suited to the contract.

Should suppliers sign the declaration?

Yes. A signed declaration gives you a record that the answers were accurate when given, which matters if a supplier later fails a check or a claim is made.
