Strategic Sourcing Guide to Sewage Disposal Services Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Waste Management Services as well as Sewage Disposal Services procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Most suppliers of Sewage Disposal Services are moving up the value chain and offering integrated services that go beyond just Sewage 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.

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.

Regulatory scrutiny is demanding periodic upgrade of Sewage Disposal Services infrastructure in multiple geographies. Increasing compliance costs are also acting as a catalyst in the final procurement cost borne by buyers of Sewage Disposal Services.

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

Sewage Disposal Services 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 Sewage Disposal Services. To help quick decision making, this report advises on several procurement best practices that have worked well for category managers.

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 analyze the type and volume of waste generated by their operations at different locations and ensure that the concerned suppliers have the operational capability to handle the waste profile of their organization.

Risks in Sewage Disposal Services procurement

Sewage Disposal Services procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for Sewage Disposal Services 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
Activities that category players are involved in generally require them to obtain financial assurances in the form of performance or surety bonds or letters of credit, for securing their contractual performance. In case category service providers are unable to find sufficient financial assurance for their activities, it could affect their ability to secure future contracts
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
