A Responsibility Matrix is important to establish the deliverables between the supplier partner and CBRE ensuring that no component from the RFP is missed.

The primary supplier agreement elements to establish within an existing contract are best summarised using the Responsibility and Embedded Documentation Matrix from the SOS as a checklist of data that should all be identified, created, or obtained. These elements are required when switching Food Service suppliers over to CBRE contracts. Advanced preparation will not only assist and support current supplier management, but also ease of transition at contract renewal or RFP.
