Our solutions
Contact our teamDue to increased scrutiny on the life sciences industry, it is more important than ever to have strong contracting and performance management strategies. A negotiated commercial agreement must take into consideration government best-price implications. Following signature, not only does a life science company need to understand and manage individual terms across their inventory of active contracts, but it also must stay current with reporting obligations they are subject to when participating in related government programs. With laws and regulations constantly changing and gradually shifting towards more stern enforcement action, it is crucial that life sciences companies rise to the occasion.
Despite the number of challenges, there are great opportunities for life science companies that do this well. Through the implementation of strong commercial contracting strategies combined with proactive contract management across commercial and government programs, a life science company is at much less risk of being subject to hefty fines, penalties or even potential debarment from government program participation. Further, effective contract management strategies can help verify that all transactions are appropriately tracked. With the tight margins that many life science companies face, incorrect tracking of transactions can mean the difference between meeting their financial targets or not. Furthermore, doing this well can help a life science company build or maintain a strong brand reputation, ultimately leading to improved sales opportunities.
