The procurement of hospital furniture and medical equipment materials is a highly technical, professional, and customized task that requires careful market research and comprehensive evaluation of hospital furniture procurement technical data, as well as understanding the basic performance and technical parameters of hospital furniture products, in order to meet the procurement needs of medical furniture and purchase products with high cost-effectiveness.

Difficulties and Solutions in Purchasing Hospital Furniture

The configuration of hospital furniture involves a wide range of aspects, with significant changes in technical specifications, a variety of series, and multiple factors that constrain product price and quality;

The quality of hospital furniture is highly dependent on supplier equipment and processes, requiring the use of specialized instruments and equipment to complete, which poses difficulties for the final acceptance of medical furniture procurement;

The market competition in the hospital furniture industry urgently needs to be standardized, and it is difficult to determine the procurement evaluation indicators for products with different specifications provided by different suppliers.

After the hospital furniture procurement office is confirmed, physical samples can be made first. For non bulk hospital furniture products, each department and space may have different specifications and sizes, but the materials are actually similar. Physical samples or even color palettes can be used.

Hospital furniture procurement can simplify the content and pursue consistency in product performance, technical indicators, and specifications for physical procurement. This makes the supply more targeted, reduces costs, and lowers the difficulty of determining evaluation indicators in hospital furniture procurement. It is beneficial for the purchaser to simplify the evaluation process and improve procurement efficiency.

How many pieces of medical furniture are included in the ward, such as manual double rocking beds, stainless steel manual double rocking beds, bedside tables, and chairs. The purchaser may request the supplier to provide a certain quantity of color palettes as a factor in technical evaluation. Using physical samples, the physical samples provided by the supplier can not only be evaluated visually for quality, but also tested with instruments. Seal the physical sample as a reference for the final acceptance of hospital furniture. This method, when used properly, can solve the problem of difficult testing of hospital furniture products.

The important role of hospital procurement engineers

Purchasing engineers can even participate in the production and supply design of suppliers earlier in order to further improve the cost control mode, intervene in procurement early, and synchronize planned procurement.

It is important for procurement engineers to participate in the design and development of hospital furniture in hospital procurement activities, which can improve their bargaining power in various aspects of supplier procurement and reduce procurement costs. And it is easy to establish long-term and closer cooperative relationships with suppliers. More conducive to simplifying the process for both parties, increasing information transparency, and reducing process costs. Only in this way can we improve the reasonable profits and enthusiasm of suppliers.

Procurement engineers can reduce the number of suppliers during the hospital furniture design bidding stage by implementing procurement strategies. A detailed analysis of the supplier structure was conducted to determine the supply strategies of "sole supplier", "exclusive supplier", "two suppliers", and "multiple suppliers". The smaller the procurement risk and the stronger the controllability of product suppliers, the fewer they are. By supporting the development and integration of suppliers, we emphasize the survival of the fittest. To promote the development of suppliers. Adopting a dual track supply system, introducing sufficient competition from beginning to end, and continuously reducing procurement costs.

First class hospital procurement helps suppliers increase profits while reducing costs. Second tier hospitals reduce costs by lowering internal costs, while only third tier hospitals rely solely on squeezing suppliers' supply prices to lower costs.

Guangzhou Bosheng Medical Furniture Co., Ltd. reminds users that hospital furniture purchasers can entrust agency companies to invite hospital furniture enterprises with professional design capabilities to conduct design competitions for the medical furniture they intend to purchase. Request detailed parameter specifications for the configuration, quantity, performance, technical indicators, materials, and environmental protection of the hospital furniture provided, and require the selected enterprise to draw production drawings and renderings of the hospital furniture, and the purchaser to select the best solution.
