The scope of Science and Environmental Research spans multiple categories and is typically identified as a procurement category that includes all spend related to research of scientific, medical, technological and environmental subjects for commercial or social purposes.
Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Science and Environmental Research as well as Product Development procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. The growing shortage of skilled talent and increasing salaries of employees is driving the operational costs of service providers. This is expected to increase service charges at least within the tier 1 suppliers who put a high premium on the talent pool that utilize. Service providers are increasingly investing in the adoption of automation software and advanced technologies to realize process efficiencies, broaden their service offerings and reduce time to market. This is increasing their OPEX, which will be passed on to buyers in the form of slightly higher procurement costs. There are only a handful of \"Tier 1\" vendors in the Product Development 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.
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 Product Development procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market. For example, Buyers can engage in pilot projects with interested service providers to assess their capabilities. This also helps buyers to assess the cost benefits and value proposition of the proposal. Buyers should engage with service providers through a rate card model. Within the rate card model, Customers are provided with rate cards that contain pre-determined prices for various activities and resources required for the project. Price is fixed based on per resource hour for different job roles. This pricing model ensures that there is optimal utilization of supplier's resources. Buyers can optimize the costs by arriving at right sourcing mix through an alignment of in-house capabilities with outsourced functions. Buyers can use in-house capabilities for project-specific requirements that can be resolved internally. Third-party providers should be engaged based on their expertise and project-specific requirements that require capabilities not present in the buyers' organization.
