We’re always expanding our portfolio of discounted contracts to serve our members’ evolving needs.
CNECT members now have access to compliant, cost-effective medical waste management solutions from four new service providers.
Why This Matters
Medical waste management can pose a variety of complex challenges for healthcare providers, including:
- Regulatory and Compliance Risks: Providers must adhere to several overlapping regulations across federal, state, and local levels, and risk fines and legal action if they don’t comply.
- Rising Costs: Medical waste management can be costly, putting budget pressure on providers as other operational expenses increase.
- Managing Multiple Vendors: Many suppliers offer specialist services, meaning providers must find several partners to cover all waste management needs.
We identified an opportunity to simplify medical waste management while improving compliance and cost control for our members.
Finding the Right Solutions
Our contract team created and released a request for proposal (RFP).
Lori Lumpkin, Contracts Manager, and Elizabeth Bailey, Sr. Contracts Specialist, used their understanding of member challenges to design an RFP attracting suppliers that would help our members:
- Maintain regulatory compliance.
- Lower medical waste management costs.
- Reduce operational risk.
- Access an all-inclusive medical waste solution.
We reviewed the resulting supplier bids, assessing their:
- Service offerings.
- Discounted pricing.
- Ability to meet diverse member needs.
Outcome: New End-to-End Medical Waste Management Solutions
Through our comprehensive vetting process, we selected the four most suitable providers:
- Amergy Disposal
- Allied Holdings
- MedPro Disposal
- Green Resource Management
These contracts give CNECT members access to all-in-one medical waste management solutions that support regulatory compliance at every step and eliminate the need to manage multiple supplier relationships.
“We intentionally pursued multiple suppliers to give members options without sacrificing simplicity. With multiple awardees, members can choose the provider that best matches their waste management needs while still accessing a streamlined, end-to-end solution.”
Lori Lumpkin, Contracts Manager
