BID GRID LIBRARY
Tap into our library of standardized bid grids designed for clinical services. These include clinical development, biostatistics, data management, pharmacovigilance, home nursing, central lab, drug supplies, clinical systems, and much more!
SOURCING TEMPLATE
Create custom minor tasks in your own library for specific outsourcing needs and apply them to your RFP templates.
TASK CUSTOMIZATION
Use your own preferred bid grid and allow clinical Service Providers to bid in their own native grid with two-way mapping against Clinical Maestro standard bid grid. You can still conduct “apple to apple comparisons” while maintaining full flexibility in bid structure.
Unlike generic solutions, Clinical Maestro SOURCE delivers on clinical outsourcing unique bidding modes.
Sourcing for clinical services is anything but standard. Outsourcing teams need a solution that embraces all core bidding modes.
DYNAMIC TEMPLATES
Full CRO outsourcing, or a-la-carte clinical service requirements, is often structured for “variable units bidding,” meaning each minor task cost is determined by specific study cost drivers. Variable bidding is common in transactional, competitive sourcing projects where proposals are compared side by side based on drivers and assumptions.
ACCURACY TESTS
Clinical Maestro is designed to accommodate variable unit cost bidding. To enhance due diligence and give sourcing teams the confidence that the effort ranges are at “market,” we leverage the power of Clinical Maestro PORTFOLIO for effort and unit cost benchmarking.
MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY
Strategic partner relationships are often structured on “fixed units bidding.” This means that the partners have analyzed acceptable levels of effort overtime and agreed to “fix” the effort based on task complexity, geography, or study type. Clinical Maestro accommodates this model by providing both Sponsors and CROs the ability to create fixed unit libraries, apply, and analyze the model on individual bidding exercises.
Complex outsourcing has never been simpler.
Clinical Maestro SOURCE was built from the ground up to accommodate the unique nuances of clinical RFPs.
The principal reason why generic sourcing solutions don’t work for clinical outsourcing lies in the complexity of the study assumptions that have to be defined by Sponsor or the Service Provider during the bidding process.
STUDY ASSUMPTIONS
Leverage baseline scenarios already intelligently created in Clinical Maestro PORTFOLIO to pre-populate clinical RFP assumptions. Provide better insights to Service Providers and increase quality of proposals through explicit assumptions on patient and site disposition, country selection and other key service assumptions in the RFP process.
RACI MATRIX
Define RACI matrix at the minor task level to clarify study execution responsibilities.
OUTSOURCING STRATEGY
Compare proposal responses in “bid to expertise mode” with RFP assumptions to easily identify differences in strategy.
