THE INDUSTRY CHALLENGE
Two people between suppliers and regulators.
Healthcare organisations carry enterprise-level vendor governance obligations on teams built for a fraction of the work. Most headcount is clinical. The two or three people responsible for contracts and compliance run the programme from Excel, email and a shared drive.
The gap plays out across the sector. Aged-care providers chase supplier licences by hand. Hospitals carry HIPAA and BAA requirements with no vendor risk programme. Device companies track certifications in spreadsheets that flag nothing.
A missed renewal locks in a contract nobody wanted. A lapsed certificate goes unnoticed. A BAA never collected becomes a compliance finding.
HOW GATEKEEPER HELPS
One platform for vendor risk, contracts,
compliance and spend.
Gatekeeper is a unified platform for vendor and contract lifecycle management, built to meet the compliance obligations healthcare providers face.
One platform for vendor risk, contracts, compliance and spend.
Gatekeeper unifies vendor compliance, contract lifecycle management and vendor performance on one record, so due diligence findings shape the contract, the contract stays connected to obligations and spend, and nothing falls between systems.
Screen every vendor before they sign.
The DDQ Approval agent distributes questionnaires, collects responses, and chases what is missing, so your team reviews completed evidence instead of sending follow-up emails.
For healthcare providers building a vendor risk programme from scratch, this is where the programme starts.
Stop tracking renewal dates in someone's memory.
The Insurance Certificate Review Agent validates coverage levels and flags lapsed or insufficient certificates.
The Compliance Monitoring agent tracks ongoing compliance against the frameworks that apply HIPAA, aged-care regulations, and the Modern Slavery Act- and surfaces gaps before an auditor does.
Stop missing renewals and notice periods.
The Contract Renewal Agent flags every auto-renewal as it approaches its notice deadline, before the window closes.
Every contract keeps its key dates, notice periods, and obligations in the same record as the vendor's risk and performance profile, so renewal decisions have the full picture.
Healthcare organisations have their own approval workflows, BAA verification steps and licensing checks.
Custom Agents can be configured to your specific requirements, so the work is handled consistently alongside the rest of the vendor lifecycle rather than being forced into a generic template.
