Managing and Monitoring Multi-Tier Supplier Risk

Cadent is seeking a comprehensive supplier risk management solution and/or managed service that provides ongoing visibility, monitoring and reporting of risk across all tiers of the supply chain, with the ability to integrate risk intelligence into SAP Ariba Risk.

The solution should enable the identification, assessment and proactive management of financial, operational, business continuity, cyber, ESG, compliance, geopolitical and reputational risks affecting suppliers and sub-tier suppliers. It must provide robust risk scoring, real-time or scheduled monitoring, alerts, dashboards and reporting, supported by reliable data sources and auditable evidence.

Cadent requires clear visibility of supplier dependencies and critical supply chain risks, together with the ability to monitor emerging events and disruptions that could impact service delivery.

Suppliers should demonstrate how their solution supports governance, assurance, decision-making and regulatory compliance through scalable reporting, configurable workflows, strong data quality controls and secure information management.

A key requirement is seamless integration with SAP Ariba Risk through appropriate APIs, connectors or data feeds, ensuring supplier risk information remains current, accessible and actionable. The provider must also demonstrate a proven implementation approach, including onboarding, integration, testing, training and ongoing support, together with relevant experience delivering comparable supplier risk management solutions.
