| 词条 | Syndicated procurement |
| 释义 |
Syndicated procurement is a purchasing method whereby a syndicate manager groups together multiple concurrent orders from multiple buyers with intent to reduce the purchase price or facilitate delivery. Example: Five distinct government agencies each require 2,000 new ergonomic office chairs. For an order of 2,000 units, the chair manufacturer is willing to sell at $100 each. Hence, if procuring independently, each government agency will pay $100 per chair. However, for an order of 10,000 chairs, the manufacturer is willing to reduce his price to $70 per unit. The five agencies can therefore pool their demand in order to lower the price by 30%. Note that the buyers will change nothing in their order, except that they procure in concert, through a syndicate manager. Real-world examplesAuto industryCompeting German automobile manufacturers often procure steel in combined orders to reduce price. GovernmentIn early 2010 New Zealand’s Ministry of Social Development considered using syndicated procurement to purchase computers collectively with other New Zealand government agencies.[1] ConstructionAustralian building firms and contractors have begun to use syndicated procurement to purchase building materials. Procurement rounds have yielded price reductions of between 30% and 45%. Legal considerationsIn many jurisdictions syndicated procurement must be executed through a professional manager. Otherwise, competing firms placing orders together can be legally deemed to be price fixing, or artificially controlling market prices. However, syndicated procurement through a professional manager is the legal equivalent of purchasing through a wholesaler, and is therefore legally permissible. Professional syndicate managers also provide a forum for syndication to competing firms that otherwise might be uncomfortable working together (this benefit is much more relevant to the private sector than to government agencies and non-profits). EfficiencySyndicated procurement is potentially more efficient than traditional procurement, because the syndicate manager identifies the precise volume, time, and locus of demand before the order is placed.
Syndicate managers eliminate these three inefficiencies by knowing in advance exactly where, when, and how much of a given product will be needed. Leadership and innovationFacilitated by evolving telecommunications technologies and global logistics services, syndicated procurement is a fairly recent concept. A few pioneers are developing and establishing its methods and conventions: Public sectorThe New Zealand government has been a leader in introducing syndicated procurement among different government agencies. The New Zealand Ministry of Social Development has been particularly active in encouraging syndicated procurement.[2][3] References1. ^{{cite web|author=Fairfax Media Business Group |url=http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/news/msd-plans-panel-procurement-for-infrastructure-services |title=ComputerWorld article 15 February 2010 |publisher=Computerworld.co.nz |date=2010-02-15 |accessdate=2012-05-09}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Syndicated Procurement}}2. ^Ministry of Economic Development publication on syndicated procurement {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100523201436/http://www.med.govt.nz/upload/51233/terms-of-reference.pdf |date=May 23, 2010 }} 3. ^New Zealand e-government page on syndicated procurement 1 : Procurement |
