Supplier risk management in the procurement of services

Unlike the purchase of conventional products, the purchase of services brings into play the human person, business specificities, and a need specific to each company and each person. Additional vigilance is therefore required when purchasing services. The first vigilance to have is supplier risk management.

Attention to the obligation of vigilance!

It is necessary to ensure that the supplier is in good standing, so you must check regularly (every 6 months) the URSSAF declaration, the list of posted workers (to avoid any hidden work), and of course, the KBiS extract. Social risk is often minimized and yet very frequent and very dangerous for the client in the event of a breach.
