The vendor selection process may begin prior to submission of a grant application. However, it is anticipated that all vendors will be identified and discussed during the trial kick-off meeting if known. The KHP organisations Research Contracts Managers are responsible for ensuring that an appropriate contract is put in place with each vendor.
A risk-based approach will be taken when assessing vendor suitability based on the level of risk associated with the trial and prior experience of the vendor.
