Units are allowed a maximum of one (1) resubmission for Vendors that receive an overall Not Recommended rating. Prior to resubmission, significant deficiencies identified in the previous assessment must be addressed. If a Vendor receives an overall Not Recommended rating after the one (1) resubmissions, then alternative Vendors should be considered or apply for an exception.
Why is there a limit on the number of resubmissions?
-
A limit on reassessments encourages Vendors to take the necessary steps to improve their offerings before seeking another evaluation. This fosters a culture of accountability and continuous improvement, ultimately benefiting both parties.
-
Our assessment team has finite capacity. Frequent reassessments of Vendors who have previously failed can overwhelm our resources, leading to delays in evaluating other potential vendors. By setting a limit, we ensure that our team can maintain a balanced workload and continue to assess new vendors effectively.
-
Each reassessment requires considerable time and effort from both our team and the Vendor. Limiting reassessments helps streamline our operations and ensures that we can focus on Vendors who meet our expectations.
-
Reassessing a Vendor incurs costs to order assessments from Venminder. By limiting reassessments, we can better manage our budget.
