Travel & Expense Supplier Scorecard
A scorecard for travel & expense suppliers turns quality, delivery, commercial and risk performance into a single monthly number you can defend in an award decision or a QBR.
T&E is the most fragmented indirect spend — dozens of suppliers, hundreds of policies, and near-zero leverage without a program. Without a scorecard, travel & expense awards drift toward incumbency and price, ignoring reliability and total cost.
SourcingHub generates a travel & expense-specific scorecard template with weighted KPIs, tracks them over time, and flags underperformers before they become an escalation.
Fields every Travel & Expense supplier scorecard should cover
- Air, hotel, ground volume by market
- Preferred supplier compliance %

- Negotiated rates and dynamic discounts
