Strategic Sourcing Guide to Lab Technicians Procurement

Overview

Business practices within Lab Technicians market are heavily influenced by changing trends across the category as well as within the broader Contingent Labour market. Certain non-compliance scandals in the broader professional services industry has pushed both clients and suppliers to put in proper processes and protocols that reduce non-compliance, protect data and information and demonstrate ethical business practices.

Many major Lab Technicians 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.

There are only a handful of \"Tier 1\" vendors in the Lab Technicians market and they have traditionally enjoyed a premium in their pricing. However, Tier 2 suppliers are giving them a tough competition now as they can provide similar services at a lower cost. Many tier 2 suppliers achieve this parity by finding right talent at a relatively lower cost and maintaining lean operations without any frills.

As a result, category managers need to closely monitor the Lab Technicians procurement trends and identify changes required in their procurement environment for the category.

Lab Technicians Procurement Best Practices

Lab Technicians procurement best practices are moving towards a level of sophistication which is typically seen in traditional procurement categories. Category managers now have an attractive opportunity to adapt the best practices seen within this category as well as those being leveraged in other non-related categories. This report summarizes the best practices picked from across multiple categories that could work well for category managers involved with Lab Technicians procurement strategy.

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.

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.

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.

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


  • Procurement without consulting the actual users of Lab Technicians may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
  • Rising labor costs may lead to increased procurement cost for buyers, especially with developed markets such as North America and Western Europe
  • 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 Lab Technicians
