Critical / High / Medium / Low risk ratings. Due-diligence cycles that fire on schedule. Email-based attestation requests for suppliers who won’t adopt yet another portal. Provision 29 evidence collection at scale.
“Supplier risk, contract renewals, and spend in one register — not six spreadsheets.”
§ Head of ProcurementNot the way SaaS vendors imagine procurement works.
Critical / High / Medium / Low. Drives the frequency and depth of due diligence. Aligned to FCA operational resilience expectations.
Annual, semi-annual, or per-incident. Auto-scheduled by tier. Slippage flagged before audit, not during.
Suppliers respond by email or a magic-link form — no portal sign-up. Adoption is not your problem.
Cascading attestations from suppliers and sub-suppliers. Evidence collected, timestamped, attributable.
Every contract held with a supplier visible from the supplier record — with renewal dates and spend totals.
One dashboard: which suppliers are due, which are overdue, which have open issues, which have escalations.
FCA-regulated firms operating under PS21/3 and PS19/5 are required to demonstrate that important business services can tolerate the disruption or exit of any given third-party supplier. That means knowing which services each supplier underpins, the contractual terms that govern the relationship, and whether due diligence has been completed — and when it was last done.
NHS organisations and central government bodies face similar obligations under the NHS Cyber Framework and NCSC supply chain security guidance. The common thread is evidence: when a regulator or auditor asks whether supplier X was reviewed, the answer needs to be a record, not a memory.
Most procurement teams manage this in one of three ways: a shared spreadsheet, a folder in SharePoint that only one person can find, or a GRC tool that was bought to satisfy a checkbox and never adopted. None of them produce the audit trail that matters.
HelixGate supplier risk management connects the supplier record to the contracts, services, and business cases that rely on it. A Critical-rated supplier who is overdue for attestation is not just a task on a to-do list — it is a visible risk in the governance dashboard, linked to the services at concentration risk, and traceable to the procurement decision that approved the relationship in the first place.
