Strategic Sourcing Guide to Qualification & Validation Procurement

Overview

The market for Operation of Industrial Facilities and its sub-segments such as Qualification & Validation are at an interesting intersection. The category has historically lagged in tech adoption due to inadequate skillsets of majority of workforce and the perennial requirement to reduce facilities related cost. Therefore, suppliers who have demonstrated technological prowess to achieve efficiencies are being preferred over traditional vendors.

Suppliers are shedding the category expert tag and moving up the value chain to offer an integrated approach to their services. With this new approach, suppliers can offer a wide portfolio of services and position themselves for large contracts that go beyond just Qualification & Validation.

Outsourcing of Qualification & Validation now represents a significant part of the global spend on this category, driven by value derived and a growing number of vendors who keep innovating with new services and value propositions.

Trends like these and many others discussed in this report are necessitating a relook at the way Qualification & Validation is procured and the procurement cost saving opportunities that exist.

Qualification & Validation Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Qualification & Validation procurement.

For example, Buyers must ensure the participation and collaboration of all related cross-functional teams (procurement, electrical, engineering, and housekeeping) in category management and planning activities. This is crucial, as these teams will be the primary end-users of the services offered by suppliers, and this step will ensure consistency in services.

Category managers must explore opportunities to integrate planning and management activities of categories using analytics, to gain better control over category spend. This will also allow them to consolidate their supply base easily, as well as to segment suppliers based on requirements and spend on each supplier.

Investing in benchmarking studies that help category managers enhance their knowledge on pricing or billing rates of suppliers allows them to not only save costs, but also negotiate better with suppliers. For example, while negotiating for bundled services, they can save significantly on a single service by cross-verifying rates quoted by suppliers against industry benchmarks.
