Contract purchasing

It shows concisely the existing vendor capacities for the raw material, planned expansions or new producers, demands for other uses, and demand within the analyst s company. In some cases, the report includes a wodd supply and demand balance. A key objective of a purchase profile report is to make the buyer as well informed as the marketing manager of the seller. If this is achieved, the buyer can often secure a beneficial purchase contract.

Specifications for raw cane sugar are set by purchase contracts. There are no international specifications, although the Codex JUimentarius is composing a draft specification. Because raw sugar is not sold as a food product in the United States (it is transported in bulk, like grain or coal), it is not subject to food regulations. Purchase contracts outside the United States are generady based only on pol U.S. contracts are discussed in the Hterature (6). 

The CaO content of commercially available quicklime can vary quite widely over an approximate range of 70 percent to 96 percent. Content below 88 percent is generally considered below standard in the municipal use field. Purchase contracts are often based on 90 percent CaO content with provisions for payment of a bonus for each 1 percent over and a penalty for each 1 percent under the standard. A CaO content less than 75 percent probably should be rejected because of excessive grit and difficulties in slaking.

In other states besides California and Arizona, the purchase contract specifies a price that is based on a dockage-free sample, a certain level of oil content, and the moisture content at the time of delivery. This is necessary because of the effect that cold temperatures, rain, snow, disease, or drought can have on the od content of an individual crop. In California and Arizona, little variation in oU content occurs from year to year in a particular variety of safflower. In the northern Great Plains states, the oil content of a seed that might be 38 0% in a normal year can be as low as 20-25% under adverse conditions. In the mountain states, these variations are usually less extreme. Safflower seed in the Great Plains is normally purchased on a 38% oil content basis (sometimes 40% is used as a basis) with reciprocal allowance of 2% for each 1 % variation in oil content (fractions in proportion) applied to the agreed on price. 

Drug pricing—The prescription information is matched with a listing of per unit price, as dictated by PBM purchase contracts with pharmaceutical companies. 

Although many health systems are decentralizing, some aspects of the health system are often handled more efficiently at a central level. Approval for a list of essential pharmaceutical products and registration or licensing of pharmaceutical products are normally the responsibility of the competent authority at the national level.

Programme officials should therefore consider consolidating quality assurance procedures at the national level and pooling demands for pharmaceutical products under a common contract.

A purchase order for a cabinet should include provision and funds for testing and certification of the unit after dehvety and setup but before final payment is made. Few, if any, vendors routinely make provision for this service or have their own personnel to do it. In order to avoid a potential conflict of interest, this should be arranged by the purchaser with an independent contractor. The cabinet vendor should be willing to delay payment of their invoice for a reasonable period to allow this to be done. This provision needs to be made in the purchase contract so that no misunderstanding will occur. There are training programs that teach how to perform the tests properly and there are firms or individual consultants available that will perform the tests at a reasonable fee. 

Bond investors can use credit options to hedge against rating downgrades and similar events that would depress the value of their holdings. To ensure that any loss resulting from such events will be offset by a profit on their options, they purchase contracts whose payoff profiles refiect their bonds credit quality.

The writer of credit options earns fee income.
