GET FREE SAMPLEEcosystem of the global Academic Research Organisations category is intertwined with the larger parent market of Science and Environmental Research. Our category definition describes that overall Science and Environmental Research market includes all spend related to research of scientific, medical, technological and environmental subjects for commercial or social purposes.
Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Science and Environmental Research as well as Academic Research Organisations procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. There are only a handful of \"Tier 1\" vendors in the Academic Research Organisations market and they have traditionally enjoyed a premium in their pricing. However, Tier 2 suppliers are giving them a tough competition now as they can provide similar services at a lower cost. Many tier 2 suppliers achieve this parity by finding right talent at a relatively lower cost and maintaining lean operations without any frills. The growing shortage of skilled talent and increasing salaries of employees is driving the operational costs of service providers. This is expected to increase service charges at least within the tier 1 suppliers who put a high premium on the talent pool that utilize. Most suppliers of Academic Research Organisations are moving up the value chain and offering integrated services that go beyond just Academic Research Organisations. Buyers are increasingly collaborating with vendors who can offer one-stop solutions as they now have fewer suppliers to manage and can achieve greater cost savings that arises out of awarding a larger contract to a supplier. Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.
Sometimes, procurement functions are unable to timely alter their practices while responding to market conditions. Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with Academic Research Organisations procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market. For example, Buyers should engage with service providers through a rate card model. Within the rate card model, Customers are provided with rate cards that contain pre-determined prices for various activities and resources required for the project. Price is fixed based on per resource hour for different job roles. This pricing model ensures that there is optimal utilization of supplier's resources. It is crucial to develop measurable milestones that help monitor and benchmark the performance of service providers. In case of variations, buyers should discuss and find appropriate solutions in conjunction with the service provider, followed by the implementation of an effective strategy to avoid variations in the future. The performance of service providers can also be linked to a portion of their fee and can be paid upon rendering of services in a satisfactory manner. For instance, measuring performance based on adherence to budget and accuracy of data or information provided during research. Buyers must provide all key requirements in detail and ensure that service providers offer precise details regarding processes, systems, manpower, and expected outcome. Regular and effective communication between buyers and service providers are crucial during the contract formation phase, as well as across different phases of the project.
