Prequalification screens suppliers up front on financial standing, technical capacity, certifications, references and legal compliance. Only those who pass are invited into sourcing events.

It moves the due-diligence work off the critical path. When an urgent requirement lands, you are choosing among vetted suppliers instead of vetting under time pressure.
