Tendering processes are extremely sensitive and important, especially for critical medical equipment such as surgical power tool systems and surgical saw blades. When tendering for this type of equipment, hospitals expect certain lead times to be met. Therefore, distributors need to plan carefully to deliver their products on time. In this article, we will discuss the importance of on-time delivery in surgical power tool systems and surgical saw blades tenders and some of the key considerations when managing this process.
In tender agreements with hospitals, delivery deadlines are clearly specified. Distributors must comply with these deadlines. If the deadlines are not met, the tender may be canceled and reissued. Therefore, it is very important for distributors to find out the correct deadlines from manufacturers and decide whether they can comply with the agreement with these deadlines in mind.
Keeping the manufacturer’s promise regarding the production time of the product is critical for on-time delivery. No matter how high quality the product is, it will lose its meaning if it is not delivered on time. Working with a reliable manufacturer provides a great advantage at this point. In addition, it will always be more advantageous to work with a manufacturer with a fast delivery time.
Distributors should take the following deadlines into account when calculating the deadline to be given to the hospital:
Production Time: This is the time it takes until the product is manufactured from scratch and packaged ready for shipment. This time may vary depending on the capacity of the manufacturer and the intensity of the production line. If the products will be supplied from stock, it will also take some time to package and prepare the relevant documents for export transactions.
Shipment Time: This is the time from the time the product is received from the manufacturer until it reaches the customs in the distributor’s country. International transportation time and possible delays should be taken into account in this process.
Customs Clearance Time: Distributors should be aware of the customs clearance time in their country during the import process. The time from the time the product reaches customs until it is delivered to the distributor’s warehouse should also be considered at this stage.
Hospital Delivery: This is the time from the distributor’s warehouse until delivery to the hospital. The location and transportation conditions of the hospital may be decisive in this period. For this reason, the distributor should also take this delivery time into account.
When calculating all these times, public holidays and annual vacations in both the manufacturer’s country and the distributor’s country must be taken into account. Holidays can extend lead times and affect scheduling. Therefore, vacation periods should be determined in advance and taken into account in lead time calculations.
On-time delivery is a really important and important consideration in surgical power tool systems and surgical saw blades tenders. Distributors must act in accordance with the tender agreements, working closely with the manufacturer and calculating the delivery time accurately. Working with a reliable manufacturer and carefully planning all processes will ensure that tenders are successfully concluded. After all your hard work, it would be a real tragedy to lose your tender with only one day’s delay.
