Digital Stock Images Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Digital Stock Images procurement.

For example, Buyers should engage with service providers that provide services through an hourly based pricing model. Within an hourly based pricing model, buyers would have a fair idea of the exact time required for the work done by service provider. Consequently, billing rates will be implemented accordingly.

Service providers often hire subcontractors to assist in certain aspects of a project. Buyers must ensure that subcontractors are bound by the same terms and conditions that main service providers adhere to. Buyers should also ensure that the project budget does not exceed while negotiating with subcontractors.

Buyers should engage in long-term contracts with service providers to gain value additions and other benefits. Engaging in long-term contracts reduces the total cost of ownership, for buyers, for the service delivered.
