Strategic Sourcing Guide to General R&D Ancillary Services Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Clinical and Medical Support Services as well as General R&D Ancillary Services procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Despite increasing costs on almost all fronts, suppliers are resisting a drastic price increase due to intense competition where market players are willing to increase their market share at the cost of profitability. Therefore, buyers can expect pricing status quo in most cases, or only negligible to marginal price increases in some cases.

The growing need for highly skilled workforce specialized in General R&D Ancillary Services is driving suppliers to increase compensation for experience professionals to retain them. This is inflating their OPEX and causing increase in procurement costs.

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.

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