Common
Challenges
Without regular benchmarking and performance reviews, supplier costs tend to creep up while service quality drifts. Common challenges include:
No Market Comparison
Pricing is rarely tested against the market once a contract is in place.
Weak Performance Data
Suppliers report on their own performance, with little independent checking.
Vague Service Levels
Contracts lack clear, measurable standards to hold suppliers to.
Relationship Drift
Over time, reviews become informal and issues go unaddressed.
Hidden Cost Creep
Small charges and price changes add up without anyone noticing.
Limited Leverage
Without evidence, it is hard to push back on underperformance or pricing.
