A vendor or supplier contract is a binding agreement between a buyer and a supplier that defines how goods or services are sourced, delivered, priced, and managed across the relationship.
Core elements include scope, price, delivery terms, quality standards, acceptance criteria, warranties, liability, termination, and performance metrics. The typical process includes drafting, negotiation, review, and finalization with appropriate approvals.
