Definitely pre-qualification. Waiting until the contract award or renewal would be way too late to address any security concerns.

I think it can also be done at contract renewal to ensure ongoing compliance.

I think it's important to clarify the supplier's cybersecurity policy during the pre-qualification stage. That way, we can ensure they meet our security standards before even considering them for the contract.
