This report combines our experience of other categories with Blend & Storage procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers should set a baseline against which the performance of suppliers can be benchmarked along with setting measurable/quantifiable KPIs. Defined KPIs provides suppliers with clarity on the scope. Besides setting standards for operations, pricing, and performance, KPIs must provide tangible goals in terms of the quality of solutions.

Category managers must explore opportunities to integrate planning and management activities of categories using analytics, to gain better control over category spend. This will also allow them to consolidate their supply base easily, as well as to segment suppliers based on requirements and spend on each supplier.

Buyers must clearly define clauses pertaining to the ownership of sub-contracting services that are not a part of their preferred suppliers' portfolios. This will ensure consistency in the services of sub-contracted firms as well as protection of confidential data.

Risks in Blend & Storage procurement

Blend & Storage procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Blend & Storage procurement. Some examples include:


  • Suppliers regularly outsource services such as housekeeping and food services to the third-party vendors. However, when third- party vendors fail to offer service due to technical or operational constraints, this results in significant losses to the buyers
  • Suppliers may face a situation where they are unable to honor a contract in its entirety due to shortage of resources, finances or capabilities. While contractual terms safeguard buyers from the non-performance, their operations could still face massive disruptions due to suppliers' non-performance
  • Suppliers are often faced with challenges such as shortage of labor, as the demand for FM services is very high. Shortages can interrupt operations, leading to delay in projects and cost overruns
