Strategic Sourcing Guide to Reagent Strips Procurement

Overview

Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Medical and Surgical Equipment and Supplies as well as Reagent Strips procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Recent cases of malpractices committed within the overall industry have increased the strictness of regulators within the overall industry. Suppliers now operate with a higher burden in the form of increased costs for compliance and data security as well as increased time to receive approvals for new solutions.

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.

New locations and vendors are emerging as cost effective suppliers of Reagent Strips, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers.

Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.

Reagent Strips Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Reagent Strips procurement.

For example, Large organizations seek engagement with global category suppliers. However, they must try to achieve the right blend of regional and global suppliers in order to ensure the delivery at locations where global players do not have necessary capabilities.

Buyers should look to minimize the contract-related risks where unfavorable credit terms may severly penalize buyers for delayed payments or entitle the supplier to demand pre-payments or shorten the payment terms. Although these clauses are not very common in the category, suppliers may still insist on them, especially in situations where buyers' liquidity or financial health is in question.

Large organizational buyers can leverage their scale of operations to initiate competitive bidding between suppliers. Competitive bidding would enable buyers to have a better visibility of the market prices and may help identify suppliers that offer the most competitive price offering viz-a-viz other players.
