The problem we solve

You already know the signals:

Vendor records live in a shared drive nobody can find.

Qualification records are inconsistent between QA, Sourcing, and ClinOps.

You have an inspection coming and you are not sure where the evidence sits.

The vendor software market looks like an eighteen-month project you cannot take on.

You have too much to sort out before software. But you cannot keep waiting.

From diagnosis to working process

What is VendorVigilance?

The software side of Mayet. A vendor management platform for pharmaceutical sponsors, biotech companies, and CROs running GCP-regulated trials. It replaces the spreadsheets, shared drives, and email threads that hold vendor records together today.

Ten weeks

Everything in Assess, plus a full redesign of your vendor management processes, a written blueprint, and a VendorVigilance proposal with a clear Path A (manual) or Path B (software) decision framework.

Best value for the scope. The package most clients choose for a full redesign.

Optimise

Up to

£75,000

Twelve weeks + post-delivery care

Everything in Design, plus full implementation of your new processes, either manually or configured directly into VendorVigilance. Includes fortnightly check-ins and ten banked hours over the following six months.

For teams who want the programme done and running, not just documented.

On-site delivery is available at a 15% premium plus travel and expenses.

The software credit

Every pound you spend on Vendor Advisory is creditable against a future VendorVigilance subscription, up to 25% of your annual contract value each year.

Worked example: A £35,000 Design engagement against a £50,000 annual VendorVigilance subscription is fully credited back in under three years, so the Vendor Advisory fee works as a down-payment on the software.

For the teams accountable for vendor oversight

Vendor Advisory is for pharmaceutical sponsors, biotech companies, and contract research organisations running GxP-regulated clinical studies. It is designed for the people who carry the weight of vendor oversight:

Quality Assurance teams holding vendor qualification records together with everything else.

Vendor Alliance Management trying to keep strategic partnerships aligned across studies.

Clinical Operations teams overseeing vendors on live studies without a full view of vendor history.

R&D Sourcing running vendor selections against incomplete qualification data.

Executive leadership who need inspection readiness demonstrated, not assembled at the last minute.

If you recognise your team in that list, this is for you.
