Add You - E-Sourcing – Choosing the Right Tool and Category is Vital to Success
There is an inherent conflict between owners and managers of companies. The former want, for instance, to minimize costs - the latter to draw huge salaries as long as they are in power (who knows what will transpire tomorrow). For companies traded in the stock exchanges, the former wish to maximize the value of the stocks (short term), the latter might have a longer term view of things. In the USA, shareholders place emphasis on t

An auction is generally recommended for those products with a high value and a minimum or small risk. High spend, low complexity is the ideal scenario for this type of price negotiation. The level of spend which will attract suppliers will differ from category to category but as a rough benchmark we generally look at spend over ?150,000. In nearly all other cases, requests for quotations (RFQ), requests for proposals (RFP) manual negotiations will be much more appropriate.

Clear and unambiguous requirements must be specified so that suppliers are competing on a ‘like for like’ basis and not working to different assumptions. A clear set of requirements (commercial, technical, logistical etc) will allow suppliers to work out the cost of servicing the account prior to the auction.

An auction requires competition in the marketplace. The more potential suppliers there are available, the more likely a good auction result will be achieved. Also consider the marketplace dynamics – are there new entrants eager to win market share? How profitable is this sector to suppliers? Depending on the category these conditions may change quite frequently so holding the auction at the right time is crucial. If the category does not pass this test, other sourcing strategies will be more appropriate and will probably involve the need to work closely with suppliers to secure supply and will focus less on price but on total cost.
