Vendor Oversight

An experienced independent third-party for vendor qualification, vendor selection, and program management for Biometrics projects.

Outsourcing of mission-critical projects is a fact of life for most pharmaceutical companies.  Everyone has experienced getting bad data or unverifiable results back from a vendor.  Without an exacting specification of deliverables, it’s hard to even evaluate whether you’re getting what you need or expect.  Most companies have people who can specify deliverables for outsourced projects, but don’t have the time to think it through as thoroughly as the job requires.  That’s where PharmaStat comes in.  We work with you to create project specifications, draft the RFP, identify vendors and establish contact, review proposals, contracts and Work Orders, evaluate deliverables, monitor status, manage change orders, and generally keep the project on track. We help our clients get the best results from their outsourcing vendors.

Biotechs Have Unique Requirements

Many conpanies are creating their procedures and infrastructure for the first time. They don’t have the staff or time for rigorous oversight of CRO projects. They don’t have SOPs and standards for vendors to follow. In fact, most biotechs adopt the work products of their first CROs as their own de facto standards. They look to their vendors to provide them with examples of best practices. This is not what CROs do well.

Help Your Vendors Succeed

Vendors do their best work for companies with established standards and procedures, when held to performance metrics in an RFP that leaves nothing to decide. They perform well for clients who monitor their progress, detect issues early and respond quickly.

Your vendors are your partners. You want them to succeed. We help you to help them succeed.
