New locations and vendors are emerging as cost effective suppliers of General Office & Call Centre, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers.Suppliers are increasingly offering a 'bundle' of services which is marketed as a cost saving option. The bundled offering often includes services that are not required by the buyer or are charged at a much higher rate than an A la carte option with another supplier.Lack of skilled in-house manpower continues to be the largest factor for hiring of General Office & Call Centre.

For example, Buyers should engage with service providers that provide AFA in their pricing as negotiating on an hourly basis can increase the procurement cost of buyers due to overruns within lawsuits. AFA also provides buyers with cost predictability, certainty, and transparency. Buyers should set a baseline against which the performance of suppliers can be benchmarked along with setting measurable/quantifiable KPIs. Defined KPIs provides suppliers with clarity on the scope. Besides setting standards for operations, pricing, and performance, KPIs must provide tangible goals in terms of the quality of solutions. Buyers should engage suppliers that can provide services customized for their industry. Though most suppliers offer services across various industries, category managers should ensure that services can be customized and negotiate on pricing based on the level of required customization.
