Supplier Management & Risk Management Offering

SRM and Risk Solutions

At Mantis we help organisations strengthen supplier performance, reduce risk and build long‑term resilience through structured supplier management, governance and relationship development. Whether you are formalising SRM for the first time or enhancing an existing model, we bring clarity, structure and hands‑on expertise to accelerate maturity and ensure control.

Our approach combines SRM best practice, risk analysis and practical delivery. We work closely with teams to design and embed frameworks that improve supplier reliability, prevent service or cost disruption, and build strategic partnerships that deliver sustained value

SRM & Risk Management Services

Diagnostics & Assessment

We begin by establishing a clear baseline of the supplier landscape through detailed analysis of the supplier base, performance, contracts, and compliance posture. This includes assessing operational, financial, geopolitical, and ESG risks, alongside reviewing existing controls, processes, and governance to identify gaps and areas of exposure.

Design & Framework Development

We design fit-for-purpose supplier management frameworks tailored to the organisation’s strategic priorities. This covers supplier segmentation, the SRM operating model, performance and KPI frameworks, supplier risk management with early-warning indicators, and defined relationship strategies to drive value and accountability.

Mobilisation & Delivery

We support the practical implementation of SRM processes, tools, and governance, ensuring they are embedded into day-to-day operations. This includes establishing supplier review cycles, performance and action planning, risk mitigation and commercial remediation, supplier onboarding and re-tiering, and aligning contracts with the SRM framework.

Embedding & Capability Building

We focus on long-term sustainability by building internal capability and embedding behavioural change. This includes training and coaching teams on supplier and risk management, establishing performance dashboards and reporting, fostering a collaborative supplier culture, and putting in place continuous improvement and supplier development mechanisms.

We apply a structured, best‑practice approach tailored to the organisation’s scale, supply chain complexity and risk profile. Our four‑stage model ensures robust SRM capability that delivers immediate performance improvements and long‑term resilience.
