As a compliant supplier, your company can continue to do business with Microsoft. We greatly appreciate the years you have spent with us, and we fully understand your concerns. Procurement partnered closely with businesses across Microsoft to transform MSP into a business-focused supplier program and to identify suppliers deemed most critical to running each business.
We welcome your continued collaboration and look forward to a productive future together. MSP supports the unique needs of each Microsoft business and ensures there are suppliers available to meet business requirements, working with each business to drive a balance across projects. Budgets and business decisions govern how work is dispersed to suppliers. If you have concerns about engaging new Microsoft business, reach out to your primary Microsoft business contact.
Microsoft supports internal search capabilities that easily allow users to identify MSP suppliers. A supplier can be part of the program even if they are Red non-compliant in SSPA, however, you will need to resolve the issue. Visit the Microsoft Supplier Compliance Portal to view and complete outstanding tasks.
Participation in the program is contingent upon being invited to join; action can be initiated by your Microsoft contact. This ensures that all our valued suppliers get a fair chance to participate in the program.
Semi-annual supplier portfolio refresh assessments are conducted to ensure relevancy of the supply base to Microsoft businesses. New suppliers will be invited to join as needed. Microsoft Procurement will continue to evaluate suppliers and may make updates to onboard or offboard companies in the program. Internally, Microsoft utilizes the Supplier Program, a metric and goal-based program, to drive accountability and actions to achieve annual targets.
