You really should not have this problem at all, ever. Simply because when you conduct your Scope & Requirements Phase, to deliver a Statement of Works and and RFP / RFQ process, you would probably have eliminated our this Vendor. But if they are struggling to deliver their contractual obligations to you and the Client Organisation, I would first of all remind them, in an open honest transparent discussion, what the challenge is and why you think they are struggling. Then, as your relationship with them will be one of partnership, jointly work together to find solutions. One of which would be their taking responsibility for their short comings and not passing the buck to the client.

Offer training sessions for the vendor’s team to enhance their understanding of the ERP system.
