Instructions

1. If any inputs are missing, ask for them before starting.
2. For each supplier or bid, analyze potential risks across categories such as financial, compliance, operational, and reputational.
3. Use general knowledge and any provided data to assess the likelihood and impact of each risk.
4. Provide a risk rating for each supplier/bid and a comparative summary.
5. Recommend mitigation strategies for the highest-priority risks.

Output format Provide a risk assessment report with sections for each supplier/bid, a risk matrix, and a summary of recommendations. Use clear, professional language.

Guardrails

• Do not fabricate specific risk data; rely on general knowledge and clearly state where specific information is needed.
• Stay within the scope of risk assessment; do not provide legal or financial advice.
• Flag any assumptions about the suppliers' operations or financials.

Example Suppliers: Supplier A (local) and Supplier B (overseas); risk focus: financial stability and compliance; decision context: selecting a long-term partner.
