KEY PROCUREMENT INSIGHTS COVERED

Strategic Sourcing Guide to Fire Maintenance Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Fire Maintenance market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Emergency and Rescue Equipment and Supplies market. Employee cost is increasing across the world due to scarcity of skilled and trained labor and increase in minimum wages. This has resulted in additional costs for Fire Maintenance suppliers who are trying to offset some of the cost increase through increasing their pricing and investing in processes and technologies that reduces their reliance on the workforce.

Prices of key raw materials that are used to manufacture equipment and systems for emergency and rescue are susceptible to extreme fluctuations. This is expected to have an inflationary impact on the procurement prices within the category.

Many suppliers are expanding within the value chain to offer an integrated solution. With this new approach, suppliers can offer a wide portfolio of solutions and position themselves for large contracts that go beyond just Fire Maintenance. 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.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Fire Maintenance procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

Fire Maintenance 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 Fire Maintenance. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

For example, Senior management of the organization must ensure that there is a dedicated emergency management team to collaborate with the supplier and be aware about the changing developments.

Buyers need to employ robust should-cost models and total cost of ownership models to aid Fire Maintenance supplier selection and pricing negotiations.

Businesses should partner with suppliers that have at least 3-5 good quality references of their work. These should be properly verified by credible sources and if possible relevant information on quality, flexibility, and adaptability must be taken from these previous clients.

  • Failure of a solution designed to tackle an adverse event results in huge damage and losses. This is particularly common when the service provider is unaware of the actual conditions in an emergency
  • 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
  • Pricing terms in the contract could prove to be inadequate to safeguard the buyer from impact of a sudden increase in supplier's cost, often arising from a lack of clarity on scope of products or services to be delivered
