Vendor Qualification

« Back to Glossary Index

Vendor Qualification in the pharmaceutical industry is a comprehensive process that encompasses evaluating, approving, and continuously monitoring suppliers, vendors, or contractors to ensure they meet specified quality, reliability, performance standards, and comply with Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements. This process involves thorough supplier assessments, audits, review of documentation, and ongoing surveillance to verify that external partners adhere to the organisation’s stringent standards, thereby supporting product quality and maintaining supply chain integrity. Through this rigorous qualification procedure, pharmaceutical companies ensure that their vendors contribute positively to the consistent supply of high-quality materials and services essential for product manufacturing and compliance.
