Certifications and supplier assurance.

Choosing a technology partner involves more than comparing services and prices. Your procurement, compliance and security teams need clear evidence that a supplier can meet your organisation’s standards.

We bring that information together, making supplier reviews easier to complete.

Supplier assurance

A clearer view of how we operate.

Whether you’re running a tender, onboarding dbfb, buying through a framework or completing an internal supplier review, you may need more than a list of certifications.

Our policies, ESG information, standards and supporting documents give procurement, compliance and security teams a clearer view of how quality, environmental responsibility, employment standards, governance, social value and risk are managed across the business.

CERTIFICATIONS AND STANDARDS

Recognised standards, with the evidence to back them up.

Certification badges are only part of the picture. Your team may also need to review the current certificate, understand its scope or include supporting evidence within procurement, due diligence or an internal approval process.

We keep that information available and can provide the relevant documents when your team needs them.

Policies and documents

The documents behind the claims.

Supplier reviews often require more than certificates. Policies, statements, environmental information and insurance documents help your teams understand how the standards are applied and whether dbfb meets your internal requirements. Bringing that information together reduces unnecessary chasing and gives procurement, compliance and operational teams a clearer set of documents to review.

SUPPLIER ASSURANCE SUPPORT

Make due diligence easier to complete.

Every organisation asks for information differently. Some teams work from a standard supplier questionnaire, whilst others need evidence against a tender, internal policy or sector requirement. Our team starts with what your review asks for, then helps identify and provide the relevant documents.

Start with your requirements

Share the questionnaire, document list or assurance points your team needs to complete. We can map the available evidence to those requirements and identify anything that needs further clarification.

One route for supporting evidence

Bring certificate, policy, ESG and insurance requests through one team instead of asking different departments or suppliers for each document. That gives your internal teams a clearer route to the information.

Questions followed through

If a reviewer needs more context, we coordinate the right people and supporting detail. The aim is to help your team resolve the query and move the approval forward, not simply send another attachment.

FROM EVIDENCE TO ACTION

Go beyond the certification.

Certifications can give you confidence in the standards we work to, but they are often only one part of your review. You may also need to understand how we approach responsible business, what wider commitments sit behind the evidence and, if you work in the public sector, which recognised procurement routes may be available.

These pages give you a clearer view of the areas your team may want to explore next.

Frameworks and procurement routes

If you are buying through the public sector, you may need to understand which recognised frameworks are available, what services they cover and what your procurement team should check before using them.

Explore the routes that may support your requirement and see where dbfb can fit within the process.

ESG commitments

If environmental, governance and carbon-reduction commitments form part of your supplier review, you can look beyond the certification itself and see how those commitments are managed across our wider business.
