How to deal with external vendors

Bala S Duvvuri Project Manager| Shell Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Hi All,

Most of my project management is with a services based industry.Recently I started working for a product based company as a project manager and I need to deal with an external vendor to provide us some services.

Can you please help me in understanding how to deal with external vendor like how to set the expectations,how to get the work done.

Please note that I am not involved in the signing of the contract between my company and external vendor so I am not aware of the terms and conditions but I am seeking help to make them do what they are supposed to do.

Thanks
Bala
