Everything in the box.

The Vendor Brief template. One page. Everything a vendor needs to know, in the order they need to know it. Editable in Google Docs.
Vendor agreement (Nigerian law). A working contract with payment terms, cancellation, liability, and what happens when they show up late.
The confirmation ladder. A 3-touch confirmation system at 14 days, 72 hours, and 24 hours. Includes the exact messages.
Vendor scorecard tracker. A Google Sheet that rates every vendor on timeliness, quality, and communication, so you stop rehiring the ones who stress you.
Load-in and load-out schedule. A template that stops six vendors arriving at the same gate at the same time.
The escalation script. What to say, and in what order, when a vendor is failing in real time and the guests are arriving.
Bonus: vendor onboarding pack. A ready-to-send welcome pack for new vendors that sets your standard before the first job.

The transformation

Where this takes you.

Vendors are not the problem. Unmanaged vendors are the problem. The difference between a smooth event and a disaster is almost never talent. It is whether somebody wrote it down, sent it, and confirmed it was received. This kit is that somebody.

Questions

Good questions.

Is the vendor agreement legally sound in Nigeria?

It is drafted around Nigerian contract practice and covers payment, cancellation, liability, and delivery. It is a strong working document, but for high-value contracts you should still have a lawyer review it against your specific situation.

What if my vendors refuse to sign anything?

Then you have learned something important about that vendor. The kit includes a section on introducing paperwork to vendors who have never been asked to sign before, without losing the relationship.

Do I need special software?

No. Google Docs and Google Sheets, both free. Everything is editable and yours to keep.
