Strategic Sourcing Guide to Ancillary Training Services Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Development and Training as well as Ancillary Training Services procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Buyers that have multiple locations under management are increasingly opting for a single supplier who can deliver L&D services in a consistent manner across locations. Often global L&D suppliers are preferred in such cases.

Integration of the latest technology in learning requires significant investments and therefore procurement costs are expected to rise for learning modules based on advanced technologies. In the long run, buyers could see stable pricing as suppliers recover their technology cost.

The market for e-learning services is exploding in developed and developing economies alike. L&D possibilities enabled by gamification, LMS apps and new content delivery methods have impacted the procurement of Ancillary Training Services in a massive way.

Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.

Ancillary Training Services Procurement Best Practices

It has become imperative for category managers to remain as agile as possible in terms of their procurement practices. However, it is not always easy to quickly spot and implement alternative practices in a category like Ancillary Training Services. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, Buyers should engage with service providers that offer interactive training solutions such as gamification, VR, and interactive videos to simulate real-world applications. These solutions are known to improve the effectiveness of learning programs.

Buyers need to adopt renegotiation strategies with existing service providers to receive better quotes and discounts. Negotiation can take place based on the supplier's previous performance, performance of employees after the completion of L&D program or technology adoption by suppliers.

Buyers can collaborate with their suppliers based on a reward-sharing basis. This can be done by providing special recognition to them at the annual meetings of buyers for high performance or mentioning their brand name on own websites.
