Optima Procurement Solutions has launched its “OptimaCRO” on-line resource (www.OptimaCRO.com), tailored specifically for this business sector and aims to become the single point of reference for BioPharma outsourcing on a global scale.
Optima’s dedicated and secure portal will enable worldwide procurement of services for the industry. BioPharma clients can control either global “sealed bid” events, or a reverse auction system, and can drastically improve efficiency and cost-savings in securing their outsourcing needs.
BioPharma partners from around the world will have free access to company information provided by contract research organisations (CRO’s), identifying those that can best serve their needs - be that in Europe, the Americas or Asia.
Steve Allin, CEO of Optima, says “With OptimaCRO, our BioPharma partners can develop their own unique list of preferred CRO suppliers that will have on-line access to individual project descriptions offered for tender, thereby opening up a project to only a handful of CRO’s, or potentially to the entire global CRO community.”
“We can protect the identity of our BioPharma client, so that bids received for projects will be blind and therefore an open and fair reflection of the current market.”
“Alternatively, rather than an acting as a global marketplace, we can customize our unique software to form a bespoke, in-house system for individual companies, should that be preferred.”
“Since we will act as a global “Introduction Agency,” our resource will greatly benefit CRO’s by serving as a new business development tool, generating interest in their fields of expertise from clients in new geographical areas and business arenas that were previously out of reach, effectively cutting business development costs.”
“It is a system that will explore a new world of opportunity for our BioPharma partners and for their suppliers, and provide a comprehensive and rewarding service to both.”
Registration for BioPharma clients and CRO’s to use the OptimaCRO system is free of charge.
