Free template · Supplier scorecard

A supplier scorecard that weights what matters.

A free, ready-to-use supplier scorecard with weighted criteria across quality, delivery, compliance, communication and sustainability. Score suppliers consistently instead of by gut feel. Download the CSV and adapt the weights to your business.

Score suppliers on the same yardstick.

A good scorecard turns a vague sense of who is reliable into a number you can compare and track. This template groups criteria into five dimensions, gives each a weight, and computes a weighted score, so a strong performer on the things you care about most rises to the top.

Adjust the weights to fit your priorities. A food manufacturer might weight compliance and traceability heavily; an engineering firm might weight quality conformance and on-time delivery. The structure stays the same.

What's in the template

  • Five weighted dimensions with example criteria
  • Weights that sum to 100 for a clean weighted score

Or let Supplio keep the score for you.

A spreadsheet scorecard is a snapshot you have to maintain by hand. Supplio scores every supplier automatically from configurable signals such as certifications, insurance validity, documents and risk, and lets you run structured performance reviews on top, with the score visible to suppliers in their portal.

Same idea as this template, kept current without the manual re-entry.

Questions, answered.

How do I use a weighted supplier scorecard?+
Assign each criterion a weight reflecting its importance, so the weights sum to 100. Score each criterion from 1 to 5, multiply by the weight, and sum the weighted scores for an overall figure out of 500 (or divide by 100 for a score out of 5). Because the weights are yours, the scorecard reflects what actually matters to your business.
What dimensions should a supplier scorecard include?+
Common dimensions are quality, delivery, compliance, communication and sustainability, but you should tailor them. Regulated manufacturers often add traceability and documentation; service suppliers might weight responsiveness more heavily. This template gives you a starting set you can edit.
Is the template really free?+
Yes. Download the CSV and use it however you like, no sign-up and no cost. If you later want the scoring done automatically and kept current, that is what Supplio's supplier scorecard software does.
