IT Services Vendor Scorecard Guidance
Essential KPIs for IT Vendors
Focus on uptime (99%+ targets), support ticket resolution time, and SLA compliance for IT services scorecards.
Weight delivery speed, security practices, and innovation alongside cost to balance short-term and long-term value.
Use these to spot underperformers in managed services or software providers early.
Best Practices for Consistent Scoring
Standardize rubrics to eliminate disputes—define clear scales for each criterion.
Export PDFs keep reviews defensible without manual Excel rework.
Benchmark against history to negotiate better terms on renewals.
Customize for Your Policy
Tweak weights to align with internal procurement rules, like prioritizing data security for IT.
Add custom fields for vendor-specific metrics without starting from scratch.
Control drift by reusing the same base template each review cycle.
