A buying guide for ECGs category – enriched with research on ECGs procurement spend patterns, ECGs pricing intelligence, market dynamics and top suppliers of ECGs.
GET FREE SAMPLEEcosystem of the global ECGs category is intertwined with the larger parent market of Clinical and Medical Support Services. Our category definition describes that overall Clinical and Medical Support Services market includes all spend on services used in diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, including medical practice provided through a third-party, repair and maintenance of equipment and medical science services.
Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Clinical and Medical Support Services as well as ECGs procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Recent cases of malpractices committed within the overall industry have increased the strictness of regulators within the overall industry. Suppliers now operate with a higher burden in the form of increased costs for compliance and data security as well as increased time to receive approvals for new solutions. Many suppliers are expanding within the value chain to offer integrated solutions. With this new approach, suppliers can offer a wide portfolio of solutions and position themselves for large contracts that go beyond just ECGs. Buyers also find the benefits of volume buying, consolidation of supplier base, efficient co-ordination in case of an event and less spending on category management. Over the years, regional boundaries have blurred as suppliers foray into different continents, increase their capital expenditure and spend on cross-border M&A initiatives. The deployment of geographic diversification strategies through such consolidation initiatives has enabled the large suppliers to improve their performance and expand their business footprint. Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement 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 ECGs. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers. For example, Category managers must ensure that they have clearly identified and listed down potential negotiation levers to maximize the value of their category spend before entering into contract-related discussions with service providers. Common negotiation levers to maximize value include deadlines, terms related to payments, (including fees, expenses, and payment timelines) and assistance required from the buyer's organization.It is important for category managers to track and measure the performance of suppliers against a set of defined KPIs that are agreed upon during the contract negotiation phase. The performance of suppliers can also be linked to a portion of their fee that can be paid upon rendering of services in a satisfactory manner.Large organizations seek engagement with global category suppliers. However, they must try to achieve the right blend of regional and global suppliers in order to ensure the delivery at locations where global players do not have necessary capabilities.
