Strategic Sourcing Guide to Hospital Beds Procurement

Overview

Clinical Furniture market around the world is undergoing rapid transitions that have a massive potential to influence the way companies strategize for Hospital Beds procurement and the cost they have to incur. Providers are increasing their adoption of new tools and technologies to optimize efficiencies and reduce the time taken to launch products in the market. This is adding to their OPEX and will have an inflationary impact on the overall price paid by the buyers.

Despite increasing costs on almost all fronts, suppliers are resisting a drastic price increase due to intense competition where market players are willing to increase their market share at the cost of profitability. Therefore, buyers can expect pricing status quo in most cases, or only negligible to marginal price increases in some cases.

Many suppliers are expanding within the value chain to offer integrated solutions. With this new approach, suppliers can offer a wide portfolio of solutions and position themselves for large contracts that go beyond just Hospital Beds. Buyers also find the benefits of volume buying, consolidation of supplier base, efficient co-ordination in case of an event and less spending on category management.

Hospital Beds Procurement Best Practices

As market conditions become more dynamic and procurement practices get more sophisticated, category managers need to be cognizant of the best practices that work for their Hospital Beds category procurement. The report offers a succinct analysis of Hospital Beds procurement best practices.

For example, Category buyers should invite bids from all potential service providers that have the ability to meet the overall requirements. Bids must be evaluated based on pre-defined parameters such as financial strength, reputation, offerings, geographical presence, and track record. Buyers can use standard scorecards to evaluate service providers and provide necessary feedback to rationalize the given scores. This helps in the effective documentation of decision-making processes.

Category managers must ensure that they have clearly identified and listed down potential negotiation levers to maximize the value of their category spend before entering into contract-related discussions with service providers. Common negotiation levers to maximize value include deadlines, terms related to payments, (including fees, expenses, and payment timelines) and assistance required from the buyer's organization.

Investing in benchmarking studies help category managers enhance their knowledge about market pricing or billing rates based on job roles and functions. This allows them to not only save costs but also negotiate with suppliers. For example, while negotiating on rates of bundled services, buyers can save significantly on a single service by cross verifying the rates quoted by suppliers against industry benchmarks.

Risks in Hospital Beds procurement

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


  • With rapidly evolving technology, suppliers are faced with the risk of technological obsolescence. Obsolete technology would not only deter adoption within the buyers' organization but could also result in inefficient process outputs
  • Suppliers are posed with the risk of non-conformance to industry standards and regulations, for example, those set by MHRA (UK) and US FDA. Any non-conformance by suppliers can result in penalties, product recalls or even revoking of the operating license
  • Procurement without consulting the actual users of Hospital Beds may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
