Understanding How it works
Although Cooperative Procurement is well-known in some circles, we still encounter many Facility and Asset Managers who are not familiar with the process or the organizations that facilitate these contracts. Additionally, we see many procurement officials who are resistant to utilizing Cooperative Purchasing Agreements for a variety of reasons.
Facilities teams can streamline procurement, save costs, and stay compliant by leveraging cooperative purchasing agreements, like those available through our partners: Sourcewell, CANOE, OECM, and NCPP.
