Strategic Sourcing Guide to Medical Respiratory Devices Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Medical Respiratory Devices market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Medical and Surgical Equipment and Supplies market. 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 Medical Respiratory Devices. 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.

New locations and vendors are emerging as cost effective suppliers of Medical Respiratory Devices, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers.

Providers are increasing their adoption of new tools and technologies to optimize efficiencies and reduce the time taken to launch products in the market. This is adding to their OPEX and will have an inflationary impact on the overall price paid by the buyers.

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

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

For example, Buyers should look to minimize the contract-related risks where unfavorable credit terms may severly penalize buyers for delayed payments or entitle the supplier to demand pre-payments or shorten the payment terms. Although these clauses are not very common in the category, suppliers may still insist on them, especially in situations where buyers' liquidity or financial health is in question.

Large organizational buyers can leverage their scale of operations to initiate competitive bidding between suppliers. Competitive bidding would enable buyers to have a better visibility of the market prices and may help identify suppliers that offer the most competitive price offering viz-a-viz other players.

Investing in benchmarking studies help category managers enhance their knowledge about market pricing or billing rates based on job roles and functions. This allows them to not only save costs but also negotiate with suppliers. For example, while negotiating on rates of bundled services, buyers can save significantly on a single service by cross verifying the rates quoted by suppliers against industry benchmarks.

Risks in Medical Respiratory Devices procurement

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

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
Frequent changes in government regulations may lead to supplier operation disruptions. This may lead to delay in delivery to the buyers
When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on Medical Respiratory Devices
