What is group purchasing?

Group purchasing gives you greater buying power

 

Group purchasing is a buying strategy designed to enable groups of independent buyers with similar needs (Charter & Private Schools) to combine their purchasing power to get discounts and other benefits on goods and services.

Our role is to facilitate this process. We manage the competitive bid process and negotiate contracts on behalf of our network of schools, and then prices and benefits are locked in ready for you to use for when you’re ready to buy.
