About this toolkit

You sent a supplier questionnaire. Now you have to chase, review and use the answers.

Most questionnaire campaigns fail after the send button: the wrong suppliers are asked, answers come back without evidence, and follow-up is ad hoc. This toolkit helps a buyer define why the request exists, choose a proportionate question set, track receipt and technical review, and follow up on specific gaps rather than chasing everyone.

What's inside

  • Guide (PDF, 16 pages): purpose, population, question set, evidence status, requests, review, follow-up, exceptions.
  • Excel toolkit: blank working copy with sheets for Dashboard, Requests, Questionnaire, Plan, Responses, Followups. Fixed review date, drop-downs and a native-chart dashboard. No macros.
  • Worked example (Excel): the same workbook filled with fictional records, so you can see every queue and chart in use.
  • Worked case (PDF): a two-page case that walks through the example and has you reconcile the dashboard.
  • 5 editable Word forms: Campaign scope and ownership; question applicability and exclusion; supplier request and follow-up; response review and version record; campaign release and follow-up register.
  • Data setup and migration guide (PDF), 5 blank and fictional CSV layouts and a field dictionary for importing your own records.
  • Glossary and verification record (PDF): every external source with the edition checked and its status, plus recomputed worked calculations.

FAQ

Which software do I need?

Desktop Microsoft Excel for the workbooks (tested in Microsoft 365 on Windows; no macros), a PDF reader and Word or a compatible editor for the forms. Other spreadsheet programs may not support every formula, chart or drop-down.

Can my whole team use it?

Yes. One purchase covers one organisation, all its sites and staff, with no expiry. You can edit the files and share your completed records, but not resell or redistribute the blank toolkit. Full terms are on the licence page.

Is the worked example real company data?

No. The worked example and worked case use a fictional manufacturer and fictional data so you can see every queue and chart in use. Do not copy their figures into your own records.
