Hey, Procurement Legends,
I feel super refreshed after a week away from things. I genuinely cannot recommend it enough. A mixture of fishing, camping, fossil hunting, two birthdays…and some much needed down time.



Anyway, I’m back to it this week, and I’m actually running a webinar next week with Gatekeeper all about Vendor/Supplier Portals. I’m bullish on these portals and I used it in my previous role at 10x Banking.
The Vendor Portal is your organisation’s digital front door, providing a centralised platform for all vendor interactions and management.
You can:
- Streamline onboarding and due-diligence reviews
- Manage compliance as you get certificates, accreditations, and risk reviews
- Build easy-to-follow vendor & contract management processes,
-Have Vendors self-serve information that you can quickly review
-Manage and track all tasks, such as contract obligations
-Collaborate with any part of your organisation and work with your vendors.
In short, the Gatekeeper Vendor Portal is more than just a tool for managing vendors—it’s a solution that enhances efficiency, transparency, and collaboration, helping your organisation build long-term, successful vendor relationships.
Sign Up for the Webinar here.

A key focus is managing risks from third-party ICT providers, which involves thorough assessments, detailed documentation, and ongoing monitoring. Due to the complexity and resource demands, compliance presents challenges, especially for smaller businesses.
