The ICRI™ readiness framework
A structured way for suppliers to understand their commercial readiness and share it with the buyers they choose, owned and maintained by ICRI.
A rounded view of commercial readiness
The assessment looks at the things buyers commonly need to understand about a supplier. Suppliers see their strengths, gaps and next steps; buyers see what a supplier has chosen to share.
Commercial capability
Whether the business can take on, deliver and sustain the work buyers need.
Compliance and protection
The licences, insurances and obligations buyers expect to see in place.
Delivery and track record
Operational capacity and the work the business has already delivered.
People and community
How the business works with its people, its region and its community.
In short: the framework shows where a supplier stands and what it takes to participate confidently in corporate and government supply chains.
From assessment to better-informed decisions
Suppliers see where to improve; buyers see the readiness and evidence suppliers choose to share. Decisions stay with the buyer.
- A clear, comparable view of where each supplier stands
- Readiness backed by evidence, not assertion
- Gaps and next steps that guide supplier development
- Confidence to engage suppliers and plan participation

Informs decisions, does not make them
ICRI presents readiness and evidence. It does not act as a regulator, certify suppliers, confirm identity or guarantee compliance, and decisions stay with the buyer.
Assess readiness, build capability
Suppliers can complete an assessment via the Supplier Portal. Corporates can view readiness and evidence via the Corporate Portal.
