Strategic Sourcing Guide to Data Center Construction Services Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Construction Service Providers market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Data Center Construction Services. To attract investment and drive long-term value, suppliers are building unique business models and implementing corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives and stakeholder engagement programs. Such strategic initiatives are pivotal to acquire a social license to operate, generate consumer awareness, and have easy access to input commodities.

The growing need for smarter and resilient construction has encouraged a rapid implementation of advanced BIM solutions. The integration of 4D BIM and geographical information system (GIS) is helping in improving construction productivity, construction supply chain management, material supplier selection, estimation of deliveries, and overall coordination between construction companies and material suppliers.

Over the years, regional boundaries have blurred as suppliers foray into different continents, increase their capital expenditure and spend on cross-border M&A initiatives. The deployment of geographic diversification strategies through such consolidation initiatives has enabled the large suppliers to improve their performance and expand their business footprint.

Risks in Data Center Construction Services procurement

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


  • 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 Data Center Construction Services
  • The unavailability of sophisticated project execution tools and systems can lead to improper estimations of costs, forecasts, and scheduling. Lack of such tools and capabilities to deal with a large amount of data can have an adverse impact on the execution of projects, thereby leading to high project costs
  • Contract-related risks where unfavorable credit terms may severly penalize buyers for delayed payments or entitle the supplier to demand pre-payments or shorten the payment terms are not very common in the category but they do exist in certain situations where buyers' liquidity or financial health is in question
