Pharmaceutical intermediates are key raw materials in the pharmaceutical process, and the following points should be noted during procurement:

1. Supplier credibility: Choose legitimate and qualified suppliers for procurement.

2. Quality of intermediates: When purchasing intermediates, it is necessary to ensure that their quality meets national standards and enterprise requirements. Quality issues may affect the final product quality.

3. Material supply stability: The supply of intermediates must be stable to avoid affecting production progress due to unstable supply.

4. Price and cost considerations: Price is an important factor to consider when choosing a supplier, but quality, reputation, and service cannot be ignored solely based on price.

5. Logistics transportation: Considering that intermediates usually need to be transported across regions, reliable logistics companies need to be selected to ensure the safety and timeliness of raw materials.

6. Contract and settlement method: In the procurement process, a contract needs to be signed to clarify the rights and responsibilities of both parties, and settlement should be strictly carried out in accordance with the contract method.

7. Technical support and after-sales service: Choosing a supplier with technical support and after-sales service can help solve problems that arise during use.

8. Compliance requirements: When purchasing intermediates, relevant laws and regulations must be taken into account to ensure that raw materials are purchased from legal channels.
