Strategic Sourcing Guide to Overseas & Offshore Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Contingent Labour as well as Overseas & Offshore procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Traditionally, clients were charged on per diem basis for Overseas & Offshore. However, rising pressure from clients to decrease pricing has resulted into an alternative pricing model of value-oriented billing where supplier's remuneration is linked to the performance or outcome of the project.

Many major Overseas & Offshore 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.

There are only a handful of \"Tier 1\" vendors in the Overseas & Offshore 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.

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

Overseas & Offshore Procurement Best Practices

As market conditions become more dynamic and procurement practices get more sophisticated, category managers need to be cognizant of the best practices that work for their Overseas & Offshore category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Overseas & Offshore procurement best practices.

For example, Buyers should engage with service providers through a performance-based pricing model wherein consultants should be paid based on the quality of services delivered by them.

Buyers need to adopt a single sourcing model instead of sourcing from different consultants to strengthen their partnership with the selected service provider. This also reduces management complexity, as they need to deal with a single Point of contact.
