Since he chose the alternative supplier, he already followed the procurement management plan for choosing appropriate one. I think he should implement integrated change control process since this may lead to change in baselines and I should update communication management plan.

I don't see it stated in the question that he followed any process, simply that he identified a supplier. Often, the formal supplier management process is outside the RAA of the PM.

I agree with Peter. Too many assumptions lead to a Risk Register mitigation conversation. Saving Changes...
