Devise a rota for vital supplier (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aorta

'vital supplier' is the definition.
(vital artery)

'devise a rota' is the wordplay.
'devise' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'devised' mean this).
'a'+'rota'='arota'
'arota' is an anagram of 'AORTA'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for aorta that I've seen before include "Body's main artery" , "Trunk route" , "main arterial route" , "Great artery in body" , "Major blood vessel" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
