Built for procurement teams and vendor managers running periodic supplier reviews, with an AI follow-up interview that digs into the specific incident or driver behind a respondent's satisfaction score instead of stopping at a number.

Adaptive probes on open-ended answers that pull out detail a static form would miss.
Attention checks
Built-in safeguards against rushed answers and low-quality respondents.
AI-drafted copy
Wording, ordering, and branching written by the AI — tuned to your research goal.
Auto report
Themes, quotes, and a plain-English summary write themselves once responses come in.
How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes a matrix question scoring the vendor across quality, reliability, pricing, and support in one grid, plus a dedicated satisfaction and likelihood-to-recommend scale.
- Uses a max-diff exercise to surface which drivers (quality, price, support, etc.) actually matter most to respondents, not just how they rated them.
- Pairs the satisfaction score with an AI follow-up interview that probes the specific incident behind the rating instead of stopping at a number.
- Captures a direct renewal-intent question and an open-ended 'one change' prompt, then rolls everything into an automated report for procurement teams.
Jotform
Vendor Evaluation Form TemplateA ready-to-field static form for scoring vendors, built on Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder with export and integration options. It covers standard rating fields but has no mechanism to explore the reasoning behind a low or high score. Best suited to teams that want a simple, one-time scorecard rather than a diagnostic review.
What it does well
- Easy to customize via drag-and-drop builder
- Broad integrations and export/PDF options typical of Jotform
- Quick to deploy for a basic vendor scorecard
Where it falls short
- Static question set with no adaptive follow-up when a rating is low or unusual
- No mechanism to automatically dig into the specific incident behind a score
- No published methodology for how quality or reliability ratings are analyzed
SurveySparrow
Free Vendor Evaluation Questionnaire TemplateA conversational, one-question-at-a-time template aimed at making vendor evaluations feel less like a form. It's built for straightforward scoring and branching logic rather than open-ended probing, so responses stay at the rating/comment level. Useful for a friendlier respondent experience, but not designed to interrogate the story behind a score.
What it does well
- Conversational UI that can improve completion rates
- Mobile-friendly, chat-style question flow
- Pre-built template reduces setup time for a standard vendor review
Where it falls short
- Conditional logic branches on predefined paths, not a true adaptive AI interview that probes the actual incident
- No voice-based interview option for richer supplier feedback
- No transparent, per-question quality scoring of individual responses
Typeform
Vendor Evaluation Form TemplateA polished, one-at-a-time template using Typeform's signature design and logic jumps to route respondents based on prior answers. It's a solid fielding-ready form for capturing vendor ratings, but logic jumps are pre-scripted rather than generated in response to what a respondent actually says. Good for brand-consistent, visually appealing surveys rather than deep diagnostic follow-up.
What it does well
- Strong visual design and respondent experience
- Built-in logic jumps for basic branching by prior answer
- Fast to launch from a pre-built template
Where it falls short
- Logic jumps are fixed at design time, not adaptive AI follow-up generated from the respondent's own wording
- No voice AI interview or guided screen-share task option
- No automated per-response quality scoring or transparent prompt documentation
