Supplier Audits
All Compass Group suppliers are required to complete a supplier evaluation questionnaire and submit documentation to demonstrate that they meet industry standards and Compass Technical requirements.
Food suppliers that pass the initial assessment are subject to a site audit against Compass Technical standards depending on risk category and possession of third party approval. All audits are carried out by Compass Group nominated auditing bodies. Low risk food suppliers possessing BRC accreditation and those located in Ireland certified by EIQA Hygiene Mark negate the need for a site audit.
All Compass Group approved suppliers are required to renew supplier evaluation questionnaires every 36 months. Suppliers that require site audits are re-audited at specified frequencies depending on risk categories. Suppliers manufacturing Compass bespoke products are audited every 12 months regardless of the risk category. All Compass Group approved suppliers are subject to unannounced spot checks.
Audit reports are confidential to Compass Group and cannot be distributed.
Specific enquiries from client auditors or M&S auditors should be directed to simon.chattock@compass-group.co.uk
