For procurement, legal and compliance

Everything your third-party process is about to ask us.

Onboarding a small foreign supplier is usually the slowest part of buying advice — six to ten weeks in a large group, and it has killed better projects than this one. Here is the whole file, in advance, so the questionnaire is a formality rather than a discovery exercise.

The entity you would contract with

Contracting entitiesJumo Partners Limited — incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong, Office 4, 10/F, Kwan Chart Tower, 6 Tonnochy Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. Plus a Chinese operating entity in Shanghai. Business Registration Number 69905908. The Chinese operating entity is 聚謀（上海）健康管理咨询有限公司 (JUMO (Shanghai) Health Management Consulting Co., Ltd.), Unified Social Credit Code 91310115MA1HAJK082, registered at 上海市浦东新区三林路344号, Pudong New Area, Shanghai.

VAT / taxHong Kong levies neither VAT nor GST — the Business Registration Number above is the entity's tax identifier. In mainland China, the Shanghai entity's taxpayer identification number (纳税人识别号) is its Unified Social Credit Code, also shown above. We have no European entity and therefore no EU VAT registration.

StandingJUMO Partners is a founding member of the French Healthcare Alliance China, the Business France initiative that brings together French healthcare companies operating in China, and has sat on its steering committee since 2013.

InvoicingFrom the Hong Kong entity in EUR, USD, CNY, HKD or CHF. From the Chinese entity in CNY. We invoice in the currency your finance team needs rather than asking you to absorb a conversion.

Financial standingAudited financial statements for the last two years, or a bank reference, provided on request under NDA.

Independence and conflicts

Search, qualification and advisory work is fee-based. No candidate pays to appear on a client's shortlist.
Business-development engagements can carry success-linked compensation. The model is set out in the Scope of Work before the work starts.
We disclose a conflict before an engagement starts — always, and in writing.
Exclusivity sits with the partner, not with the firm: the partner who leads your engagement does not lead a competing one.
Where two clients in the same category are served at the same time, they are served by separate teams, with separate working files and nothing passing between them. Where we cannot staff that separation, we decline the second mandate rather than dilute the first.

Our compensation is paid by the client. Where any part of it would come from another party, it is disclosed in writing before the work starts and you approve it.

Who does the work

The partner who scopes the engagement is the partner who delivers it, and is named in the quote.
If someone named in the Scope of Work has to be replaced, we tell you before it happens and propose someone of equal seniority.
Associates are contracted individually by JUMO, background-checked, and sign confidentiality undertakings before they start. JUMO remains your sole counterparty.
Consultants hold at least two years of experience, senior consultants five, partners fifteen.

Data — the part that matters most in this business

We interview named healthcare professionals in China. That has consequences for you, not only for us.

Two things your compliance team will want in writing

We interview professionals, never patients. Healthcare professionals and industry professionals, in their professional capacity. We run no patient or consumer research and we collect no health information about the people we speak with — so no sensitive personal information under PIPL, and no special category data under the GDPR, enters our work.

Research and expert identification are separate services. In research, participants are not identified to you: you receive findings, never recordings, full transcripts or names, and participants are not contacted commercially afterwards. Expert identification is the opposite by design — named, and only with the expert's prior agreement. Information given in a research interview is never used to introduce someone to a client.

A study of sixty to ninety clinicians generates personal data of healthcare professionals, collected in China and read in Europe. Your data protection officer will have questions before your commercial team does, and your transparency reporting may be affected by how respondents are compensated.

Lawful basisConsent, given before the conversation begins and withdrawable at any time, for interview data. For business contacts, our legitimate interest in running a business relationship under the GDPR, and consent or contractual necessity under PIPL. Set out in full in our Privacy Policy Statement.

Cross-border transferSeparate consent to the transfer, recorded; a personal-information protection impact assessment carried out before the transfer; and a documented legal basis under PIPL. Our volumes sit far below the thresholds that trigger a CAC security assessment or standard-contract filing — well under 100,000 individuals a year, and transfers necessary to perform a contract. Because we run no patient research, no sensitive personal information crosses the border.

Storage and retentionEverything is held in our Microsoft 365 environment. Audio is deleted within 60 days of the transcript being approved, and we work only from the transcript after that. Pseudonymised transcripts are kept for 12 months after the project closes. Screening answers and consent records are kept for as long as the related research data, plus three years.

Re-useFindings are delivered to the commissioning client. We do not re-sell, syndicate or re-use a study's material for another client. Where we write publicly — a white paper, a practice note — we use aggregated or anonymised material only, never a quotation that could identify a respondent, and never a client's commissioned findings without their agreement.

Client paperWe sign your data processing agreement where it fits our processing model. Where you would rather not produce one, we provide ours.

HCP compensationHonoraria are benchmarked to fair market value for the specialty, country and time involved, and are arranged by a specialist agency rather than by us. We disclose the participant's name and contact details to that agency for payment only, and we never hold bank details. Amounts and recipients are documented per study and can be provided for your transfer-of-value reporting.

A note on why this page exists

A firm that has not been through a real procurement does not build this page.

Which is, in the end, why it is here. If something your process requires is missing above, tell us and we will add it — for you and for the next buyer.
