Overview
The Supplier provides the necessary skills to carry out the project and are responsible for the quality of specialist products. PRINCE2 is defined in terms of a Customer / Supplier environment. The Supplier may pass on work to a third party called a sub-contractor. Both the Supplier and subcontractors are stakeholders of the project along with Customers and Users. There may be one or more Suppliers to a project (distinct from sub contractors) all Suppliers should be represented on the Project Board. The Senior Supplier role is responsible for the Supplier Business Case.
