Frequently Asked Questions about Vendor Sourcing.

Will Vendor Qualification Assessment (VQA) be performed by Freelance Clinical?

Although many of our vendor partners are vetted with a basic vendor assessment questionnaire, we do not perform any comprehensive vendor qualification assessment - as we recognize that many Sponsors/CROs adhere to their own individual QA procedures and document requirements. However, to streamline this process, we offer to pre-fill information obtained from vendors on your required forms/questionnaires and facilitate with the vendors in completing any remaining sections. This approach reduces redundancy for both Sponsors/CROs and vendors.
