Overview

Consultancy market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Clinical Consulting procurement and the cost they have to incur. 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. Some clients adopt this strategy to understand the capability and performance of individual supplier and then pick one or a smaller set of suppliers for future contract opportunities.

Many major Clinical Consulting 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.

The concept of virtual firms is getting popular. By placing the entire infrastructure in cloud services, and utilizing a small number of physical offices, Clinical Consulting suppliers are trying to cut their costs and developing cost competitive propositions for buyers.

Clinical Consulting 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 Clinical Consulting. 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 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.

Buyers should invite bids from industry competitors to ensure that the offers they receive are competitive. Service providers may be willing to offer a multi-year engagement at a reduced fee, which can be beneficial for category buyers in the long-term.

  • When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on Clinical Consulting
  • The services obtained may not live up to buyers' expectations with respect to possession of skillsets. This will lead to reduction in productivity of buyers
