A changing ecosystem within the Contingent Labour market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Adhoc Research Services.

This trend has a potential to increase their OPEX and in turn, procurement costs for buyers in the short term.Most clients now prefer splitting a single project among different vendors as it enables them to allocate parts of a project to specialized professional firms and keep the supplier base wide enough.

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.
