The journey to receive your CALM Verified Supplier status

Step 2: Comprehensive Assessment Our personal review includes a company credit check, social media check of directors, a standard terms of business review and check of your business insurances & certifications.
Step 3: Set up a review meeting. We’ll share our assessment of your application and highlight any areas we think you could strengthen. A bonus if you submit bids to customers, as we’ll show you how a procurement team would review your submission.
Step 4: Verification Decision On our call, we’ll discuss whether you meet our standards or need to do some development work first. Once you address any issues, you can reapply for free.
Step 5: Certification & Recognition Receive your digital assets, we set up your dedicated webpage introducing your business along with a video introduction. On this page we’ll highlight your Verified status. We’ll also issue your physical certificate.
Optional Step 6: To bring our customers and suppliers closer together, we’re launching a regional Supplier Directory of Verified Suppliers who provide a range of B2B services. You’ll be invited to list on our directory if we need your services*.
The entire process typically takes 2-3 weeks, after which you'll hold the CALM Supplier Verification certification, that immediately elevates your business.
*Note : as we roll out the Supplier Directory to each region, we will invite suppliers who we think are best suited to our customers. We look for a mix of different businesses, so selection could be based on niche services, business size, sector experience and a number of other factors. Please don’t be disappointed if we don’t currently have space for your business in the directory.
