Strategic Sourcing Guide to Life Cycle Validation Procurement

Overview

The market for Operation of Industrial Facilities and its sub-segments such as Life Cycle Validation are at an interesting intersection. With advancement in technology, service providers are employing diverse tools in their operations to identify opportunities for optimization and greater collaboration with the customers.

A balanced approach to procurement of Life Cycle Validation has emerged, where buyers with multiple locations first outsource at individual locations and gradually move to standardize and consolidate the services across facilities.

Suppliers have historically gained handsome margin-on-margin by sub-contracting a part of their work to another contractor. However, Buyers are now delving deep into the business models of suppliers and negotiating hard to avoid further sub-contracting. In cases where it is imperative to sub-contract, category managers are employing should-cost models to keep supplier margins on sub-contracting to the minimal.
