Strategic Sourcing Guide to Medical Waste Disposal Services Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Waste Management Services as well as Medical Waste Disposal Services procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Medical Waste Disposal Services category has traditionally been untouched with in-depth analysis of patterns. However, companies are now spending a good amount of analysis to optimize the entire waste management cycle, for example, the optimum frequency to collect waste, optimum size of containers of vehicles, types and volume of waste generated and customized solutions for each type and volume category. Suppliers are also expected to create in-depth data reports that can further facilitate the analysis and decision-making process.

Governments are promoting Waste-to-energy initiatives by offering tax benefits and other incentives such as greenhouse credits. USA alone has more than 70 WTE plants in operations and other developed countries are catching up. As this trend continues to find favor, some buyers may be required to transform their operations and asset base to realize the benefits.

Most suppliers of Medical Waste Disposal Services are moving up the value chain and offering integrated services that go beyond just Medical Waste Disposal Services. Buyers are increasingly collaborating with vendors who can offer one-stop solutions as they now have fewer suppliers to manage and can achieve greater cost savings that arises out of awarding a larger contract to a supplier.

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