What is a Vendor / Service Level Agreement?
A vendor or service level agreement (SLA) sets out what a vendor will deliver to a business and the standards it must meet — uptime, response and resolution times, quality measures — along with the fees and what happens when standards are missed, such as service credits or termination.
It turns expectations into measurable commitments, which is what makes them enforceable.
When to use it
- You are outsourcing IT support, facility management, logistics or another ongoing service.
- A vendor’s performance has been inconsistent and needs measurable standards.
- You are a vendor wanting clear scope and payment terms.
