GET FREE SAMPLEThis report on global Research & Development Consulting category is part of a larger series of reports on global Consultancy market. The scope of Consultancy spans multiple categories and is typically identified as a procurement category that includes all spend related to advisory and consulting services with respect to specific aspects or functions of the client with a stated objective and end result.
Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Consultancy as well as Research & Development Consulting procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. The market is rapidly showing signs of a great divide - at one extreme is a low-cost market with almost commoditized services and at the other end is the market for high cost specialized services. Research & Development Consulting vendors are adopting starkly different business models and cost structures in an effort to address both the markets. 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. Most clients now prefer splitting a single project among different vendors as it enables them to allocate parts of a project to specialized professional firms and keep the supplier base wide enough. Some clients adopt this strategy to understand the capability and performance of individual supplier and then pick one or a smaller set of suppliers for future contract opportunities. Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.
The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Research & Development Consulting procurement. For example, 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 should engage with service providers that can provide integrated services, including consulting, implementation, and support services. Adequate RFP response time should be built in for prospective suppliers to enable them understand the scope and performance requirements.
