The two terms overlap. "Vetting" describes the broad act of checking a supplier is suitable; "due diligence" describes the detailed verification that sits underneath it. In practice a good supplier vetting engagement is due diligence — the label matters less than whether the checks are done against primary sources.
Due diligence earns its cost when the order is significant, the supplier is new or overseas, money crosses borders, or the relationship will be ongoing. In regulated settings it can also be a formal requirement. When the stakes are low and the supplier is well known, a lighter check may be enough.
Our supplier vetting & due diligence service produces a written report with a risk rating and a clear recommendation, typically within ten working days.
The same principles run through everything we do — sourcing, commercial work and consulting alike.
A single point of responsibility from brief to outcome — no hand-offs and no ambiguity about who owns the result.
We check facts against primary sources and prepare real documentation, not assurances. We confirm before we commit.
Confidential by default. A real, registered UK firm — Companies House no. 17080890, with references under NDA.
