Fixed-fee consulting to bring your vendor oversight in line with ICH E6(R3)
Packaged consulting for vendor management. Credited against your VendorVigilance subscription, up to 25% of annual contract value each year, when you are ready for software.
Signs your vendor oversight won't survive an inspection
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.
Vendor Advisory gets the process right first, so the software has something solid to run on.

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.

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.

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 to show inspection readiness at any point in the year.
