Are you paying facilities suppliers for the work they do or the results they deliver?

Facilities contracts have long been built around headcount, labor hours, and task frequency. That model is giving way to commercial structures tied to operating outcomes: asset availability, response and resolution times, and first-time fix performance.

The shift can better align supplier economics with enterprise priorities, and it raises the bar for procurement. Outcome-based contracts depend on reliable baselines, agreed data sources, and metrics suppliers can actually control. Incentives work best when balanced with service credits, and mandatory inputs for regulated and safety-critical work still belong in the scope.

Our Sourcing Trends report outlines how organizations can rethink facilities contracts to improve service delivery, strengthen supplier accountability, and reduce operating risk.

When was the last time your organization benchmarked its non-clinical supplier contracts?

For one $3B+ academic health system, more than 50% of reviewed contracts were classified as low maturity, with renewals taking place without competitive benchmarking. That meant missed opportunities to negotiate better pricing across a $745MM non-clinical spend portfolio.

By bringing greater sourcing discipline and market intelligence into the process, LogicSource helped the health system strengthen its negotiating position and deliver $55MM+ in annual savings.

IT, facilities, marketing, finance and purchased services can account for as much as 20% of a health system’s total net patient revenue. Most of it never receives the oversight that the clinical supply chain gets.

In his latest piece, Eric O’Daffer, Strategic Advisor to LogicSource, argues that indirect spend should not be treated as peripheral to supply chain strategy. It’s one of the largest financial levers a health system has, and it can be managed without compromising service or clinical operations.

Where governance does reach those categories, the return shows up quickly: better supplier performance, more transparency, less complexity and more consistency across the organization.

Most healthcare organizations have optimized their clinical supply chain. Far fewer have looked closely at everything else — IT, marketing, facilities, professional services and more.

WellSpan Health did. In partnership with LogicSource, we applied cross-industry benchmarking and embedded procurement expertise across spend that had gone largely unaddressed, without touching the clinical model.

Tariffs didn’t get simpler after the Supreme Court’s ruling. They got more layered: a broad Section 301 baseline, with sector and product-specific actions stacked on top, each running on its own timeline.

That changes how you plan. These costs don’t arrive on an annual cycle. They land on specific dates in specific categories, which means budgets and supplier agreements need to be tied to the trigger dates rather than to a flat yearly assumption.

Three actions are already in effect. Three more lands between November and January.

Swipe through to see what’s already hit, what’s still ahead, and where to act before year-end.

Benefits renewal decisions are often locked in by August. Starting the process in March or April leaves little time to evaluate alternatives, benchmark pricing, or negotiate effectively.

With medical and prescription costs up roughly 52% since 2015, and health benefits costs projected to increase by approximately $1.2M per 1,000 employees in 2027, organizations need to start planning earlier.

In a new article for BenefitsPRO, James Bouchard, LogicSource Partner, Center of Excellence, explains why benefits planning should begin at least 13 months before the next plan year, with the CHRO, CFO, and CPO involved from day one.

Plan 2027 against a single inflation number, and you'll be wrong in both directions.

Some indirect costs are still climbing; others are starting to ease. Average them together and you plan for neither, over-provisioning the categories that are cooling and underestimating the ones that aren't.

IT hardware is under real pressure — servers, storage, and networking are projected to rise around 13% on average as AI and data-center demand build. Freight is tightening again, with re**er truckload up roughly 9.5%. But it isn't all upward: property insurance is projected to ease about 5% as the market softens off recent peaks.

Our latest 2027 Inflation Projection Report, produced by the LogicSource Center of Excellence, maps pricing projections, key drivers, and the sourcing moves procurement teams should be making now.

Six months after the Supreme Court reset U.S. tariff policy, rates have stacked back up — a 10-12.5% baseline across 60 economies, plus 50% metal duties, 25-100% sector rates, and country surcharges on Brazil and Canada.

Suppliers are increasingly citing "tariffs" to justify price increases that don't hold up to scrutiny — while refund opportunities from invalidated duties often go unclaimed.

Our Q3 report breaks down current rates, where cost pressure is concentrated across indirect spend, and the questions to ask suppliers before accepting the next increase.

For most of 2026, tariff policy felt like a moving target — emergency powers, a temporary surcharge, then a Supreme Court ruling that reset the whole framework.

As a new 60-economy Section 301 tariff baseline reshapes sourcing costs, procurement teams also have a real opening to recover value; the invalidation of prior IEEPA duties has created refund rights now processed through CBP's new CAPE system. This shift is changing how organizations approach tariff mitigation, from managing a single flat surcharge to negotiating recovery on duties already paid.

Our latest report breaks down what's changed since the Supreme Court's February ruling, where refund and negotiation leverage now sits, and what procurement leaders should do now to validate supplier tariff claims and protect margins through year-end.

Headcount reductions. Deferred capital spend. Renegotiated contracts. These are the tools finance leaders reach for when margin pressure hits — and they're not wrong. They're just tactics.

Tactics end. Governance compounds.

The real gap isn't between companies that cut more and companies that cut less. It's between companies that manage indirect spend as an ongoing discipline — and companies that discover, only when they look closely, how much of it was never really managed at all.

In his latest blog, Michael Braunschweiger, LogicSource Chief Client Value Officer, highlights why spend governance is what produces sustainable EBITDA improvement.
