This document provides an executive summary and analysis of spending at the School of Medicine from fiscal years 2007 to 2009. It finds that spending on purchase orders decreased as a percentage of total spending while spending on C-forms and P-cards increased. The document recommends increasing the use of contracts and purchase orders for contracted suppliers to reduce spending. It also identifies opportunities to reduce equipment maintenance and laboratory animal costs through competitive bidding processes. Overall, collaborative contracting efforts between purchasing and the school have achieved over $1 million in savings to date.

Maintenance Program (EMP) was launched in
March 2006
 A new and innovative business model that continues
to provide opportunities for the School of Medicine to:
 Continue to utilize current service providers while reducing
annual equipment maintenance costs on average by 25%
 Since SOM began using Specialty Underwriters in
2006:
 Cost savings-$645,818
 # of contracts-669
 Missed opportunities for additional savings-$191,355

This is a summary of the comparisons between this fiscal year’s Spend Analysis and the last Spend Analysis, which was in FY 2007.
Key areas reviewed include:
Purchase order utilization and spend
P card utilization and spend
C form utilization and spend
Utilization of contract v non-contract suppliers
Comparing all data between fiscal years
Recommendations
Overall Analyses:
FY07
School of Medicine spend using BEN PO’s was 87%
University Average was 86%
Overall Analyses:
FY09
School of Medicine spend using BEN PO’s dropped from 87% to 79%
University Average was 45%
FY 09
School of Medicine PO Spend was 79%
University Baseline PO Spend was 45%
School of Medicine spend using P Card was 1.23%
University average was 1.82%
Analysis: SOM use of P Card is consistent with UPENN baseline totals.
The C form FY 2009 University baseline totals are now inclusive of ALL C form transactions-This is due to Markview upgrade in November or 2008-Approximately $400 million was not previously counted in calculations. Use sheet showing those specific vendors.
Overall Analyses:
School of Medicine spend using C Forms was 20%, up 10% from previous spend analysis
University average was 53%, but included well over $400 million in payments such as medical coverage for employees, insurances energy costs, et al
Contracted Suppliers in which C Forms were used include:
Cintas Corporation
Fisher Scientific
Sigma-Aldrich
Invitrogen
Charles River Laboratories
SOM Contract utilization for FY 07 was 44% versus the University baseline of 31%
SOM non-contract utilization for FY 07 was 56% versus the University baseline of 69%
SOM contract utilization for FY 09 was 48% versus the University baseline of 35%
SOM non-contract utilization for FY 09 was 52% versus the University baseline of 65%
SOM Contract utilization for FY 07 was 44% versus the University baseline of 31%
SOM non-contract utilization for FY 07 was 56% versus the University baseline of 69%
SOM contract utilization for FY 09 was 48% versus the University baseline of 35%
SOM non-contract utilization for FY 09 was 52% versus the University baseline of 65%
Missed opportunities-BD Hank Pletcher
Overall savings to the SOM since 2006 with SU is $646,000-Usage has steadily increased over the last 3+ years
However, there was lost opportunities totalling $191,000 during the last 2 fiscal years;
SU now has a rep that can visit PI’s and others at any time to discuss issues
