Strategic Sourcing Guide to Food Safety Consulting Services Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Food Safety Consulting Services market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Consultancy market. There are only a handful of \"Tier 1\" vendors in the Food Safety Consulting Services 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.

Most clients now prefer splitting a single project among different vendors as it enables them to allocate parts of a project to specialized professional firms and keep the supplier base wide enough. Some clients adopt this strategy to understand the capability and performance of individual supplier and then pick one or a smaller set of suppliers for future contract opportunities.

Many major Food Safety Consulting Services suppliers are seeking inorganic growth to diversify their services and gain access to new products and new technologies at a lower cost. The strategy serves consultancy companies well as they can pitch for a larger scope of work and truly become strategic partners of their clients.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Food Safety Consulting Services procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.
