Sure. See below. You could re-frame based on how you would plan to use.
Document the justification for termination of the relationship.
Identify all impacted Stakeholders.
Has an exit plan been developed for this relationship?
Review the existing exit plan to determine if it contains any information that can support the termination process.
I have engaged with Legal Department to determine the steps necessary to terminate the contract (Provide Legal resource with copy of current contract, scope of service being terminated and current Exit Plan if applicable). (Yes or No)
Schedule review with Legal Department (and Procurement if applicable) for direction on contractual obligations for this termination
Identify all applicable risk related reasons for termination.
Has the Supplier acknowledged the notification of the intent to terminate the relationship?
Has the termination been communicated to all impacted stakeholders?

May I ask what your termination checklist assessment consists of? I've come up with things I think it should include, but was curious if there are things that I am not thinking of.
Thanks.

Based on inherent risk, financial stability, etc., we have a good number of our engagements with an Exit Strategy. Additionally the LOB completes a Termination checklist assessment for all exiting relationships, and require a termination letter acknowledged by the Third Party. Our contracts have a Termination clause which includes deconversion and orderly transition.
Hope this helps.

Good Afternoon,
We are currently in the process of developing our TPRM program. One of our projects within the program is defining and formalizing exit/termination requirements for vendors. While I understand that there should be language in the contract with the vendor, I'm curious to know what is being used by other companies as a formal process, checklist, workflow, etc. when they are off boarding vendors.
Any and all input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
