From its creation, the procurement department of the Region Sud decided to equip itself with a sourcing tool to become more professional and save money. Region Sud chose Silex to optimize and secure the practice of sourcing and thus improve its performance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

About Region Sud<\/h3><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div>

Each year, Region Sud spends an average of 350 million euros. The procurement department now has 10 people, including an assistant director and a department head. All purchases are organized semi-centrally with 25% of the amounts listed managed by the procurement department. The rest is taken care of directly by the prescribers and the directions of each service.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Crucial issues<\/h2><\/div>

Generalize the practice of sourcing within Region Sud<\/h3><\/div>

Sourcing allows public buyers to consult economic operators to better prepare their markets and thus avoid unsuccessful procedures. The practice has been included since 2015 in the order of July 25 relating to public procurement in order to encourage public purchasers to use it, in particular to promote compliance with the principle of equal treatment between candidates.<\/p>\n

The Region Sud procurement department wishes to promote the practice of sourcing to meet legal obligations, but also to strengthen competition in its panels and improve its economic performance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The challenge<\/span><\/div><\/h2><\/div>

Achieve purchasing savings by increasing the rate of competition in the supplier panels<\/div><\/h3><\/div>

Lack of knowledge of the supplier market<\/div><\/h3><\/div><\/i>

Difficulties in finding alternatives<\/span><\/div><\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Insufficient call for competition<\/div><\/h3><\/div><\/i>

Thanks to sourcing, the Region Sud procurement team obtains, on average, a competition rate per consultation twice as high as the rate observed for other procurement teams in the region.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The results<\/span><\/div><\/h2><\/div>

Competition and economic gain<\/div><\/h4><\/div>

A rate of competition 2 times higher in the supplier panels than before, promoting purchasing savings<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Coverage of sourcing<\/span><\/div><\/h4><\/div>

Standardization of sourcing in the organization and better knowledge of suppliers<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Transparency and legal certainty<\/div><\/h4><\/div>

The duties of neutrality and transparency are respected<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The use of Silex has made it possible to generalize sourcing, not only for purchases managed by the procurement department, but also throughout the organization. Prescribers are satisfied with the choices made by the service. As proof: they regularly turn to them to ask them to carry out sourcing.<\/p>\n

The centralization of data on Silex facilitates the sharing of information within the organization. Purchasing also benefits from monitoring, mapping and reporting tools to communicate more easily on its actions and results.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/div><\/div>

The generalization of sourcing has enabled us to make very good savings. In some markets, prescribers assured us that there was no competition, but thanks to sourcing, we have identified new suppliers who can meet these needs. For example, in a market that had not had a renewal for years, we changed provider after sourcing and achieved savings of 1.5 million on the entire contract.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
