CRO/Vendor Selection Solutions
Choosing an appropriate and qualified CRO is crucial to ensuring the quality of your clinical research. GLSA works with independent consultants who provide comprehensive CRO/Vendor selection support from Request for Information (RFI)/Request for Proposal (RFP) build to contract negotiations.
Budget and Contract Negotiations Solutions
GLSA’s consultants have extensive experience reviewing CRO/Vendor proposals and negotiating commercial terms, MSA, and Work Order contracts. Let an independent party handle the tough negotiations while the clinical operations team can focus on executing the trial and maintaining study team morale.
Financial Reporting Solutions
Thorough and regular financial reviews are critical to contain clinical research costs. GLSA’s independent consultants can develop financial modeling tools (using CROs budget) to quickly estimate cost impacts of potential changes to study parameters, support monthly financial reporting meetings, and Change Order Management.
Governance Support Solutions
After Vendor Selection, GLSA can offer continued support for your trial including Governance meetings, drafting Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), negotiating partnership terms, and organizing Executive Steering and Joint Operating Committee meetings on a quarterly or as needed basis.
Accelerate Your Clinical Research
We Begin With the End in Mind
We conduct a thorough review of protocol(s) to delineate requirements before embarking on the selection of Clinical Research Solutions (CRO/Vendor) candidates. Well-defined selection criteria are established and transformed into a Request for Proposal (RFP).
We Manage the RFP involving the coordination of proposal distribution, communicating with vendors, and scrutinizing proposed budgets and assumptions. We meticulously handle bid defense planning, facilitation, and the development of Proposal Scorecards.
We manage full circle RFP negotiations to final MSA. This includes negotiations related to partnership terms, study commercial terms, as well as ongoing support for Change Orders and Contract Maintenance throughout the study’s lifecycle.
We provide support for various committee meetings, including the Operational Management Committee, Executive Oversight Committee Meetings, CRO vendor relation management, and Project & Program Management meetings. Count on us for end-to-end management of your clinical trials, ensuring seamless operations and successful outcomes.
