Strategic Sourcing Guide to Oxygenation Equipment Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Waste Management Goods market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Oxygenation Equipment. Government regulation in North America, Europe and parts of APAC have compelled the local companies to reduce the volume of waste generated. Suppliers of Oxygenation Equipment are trying to compensate for the lowering volume growth with high margin value-added services but the most common response so far has been an increase in pricing structure.

Most suppliers of Oxygenation Equipment are moving up the value chain and offering integrated services that go beyond just Oxygenation Equipment. 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.

Companies are putting a great premium on sustainability and green practices within their entire value chain and business operations. Suppliers are not only expected to understand these practices but also have a solid history of demonstrating similar principles in their operations. Therefore, suppliers that guarantee minimal emissions in their operations are increasingly finding favors.

Oxygenation Equipment Procurement Best Practices

Sometimes, procurement functions are unable to timely alter their practices while responding to market conditions. Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with Oxygenation Equipment procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, Buyers should engage with suppliers that provide waste management solution based on their industry specific needs. Suppliers should be able to provide different waste management solutions that are specific to the type, location or volume of waste. Also, suppliers need to have scalability to offer the desired customization based on diversified requirements of buyers.

Timely monitoring and inspection of waste management systems, processes or equipment is critical in taking the contract renewal decisions. A dedicated team of experts from the buyer's organization should conduct timely reviews and inspection to assess the performance of current solutions and use those intervention points to better negotiate at the time of contract renewal.

Buyers should engage with suppliers that offer end-to-end solutions, including equipment and supplies, collection, disposal, and transportation of waste and consulting services. Such suppliers can assist buyers in implementing a more efficient waste management program, select correct waste processing method and maximize the waste operations.

Risks in Oxygenation Equipment procurement

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

Suppliers may face a situation where they are unable to honor a contract in its entirety due to shortage of resources, finances or capabilities. While contractual terms safeguard buyers from the non-performance, their operations could still face massive disruptions due to suppliers' non-performance
Operations of service providers include risks such as equipment defects, failures, and malfunctions. This can potentially lead to a release of hazardous materials, damage or loss of assets or property of service providers, or injury or death of employees. This can also lead to the need shut down or reduce the operations of service providers' facilities until remedial measures are undertaken. Operational risks can affect the safety record of service providers, which can also lead to a loss of client base
Procurement without consulting the actual users of Oxygenation Equipment may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
