David Freschi

Given the sensitive nature of clinical trials, the way they are purchased and the agreements involved can be cumbersome and complicated. Dave Freschi and Ratan Ratnesh will walk us through best practices involved with sourcing this expensive category specifically. They will talk about things like:

-Ranking and evaluating key outsourcing variables — the money, the contract and the people
-Understanding the perspective of legal, compliance and R&D before conducting research on perspective suppliers and analyze criteria and considerations for vetting CMOs
-Reviewing potential vendors, requesting proposals (what info should be included)
-Writing up outsourcing specific contracts and coming up with long term KPI’s to evaluate vendors you choose to work with
-What is the lifecycle of an outsourcing engagement? How does that evolve over time?
