Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs)
A group purchasing organization (GPO) is a company that leverages the purchasing power of its members to negotiate special pricing with suppliers. As a result, its members have access to the products they need at prices they would not otherwise be offered.
GPOs utilize the collective purchasing volume of their members to negotiate discounted pricing with leading suppliers. In addition, a GPO partnership can support your organization with supply chain strategy, optimize your procurement processes, and help your business reach its short- and long-term financial goals.
CNECT has more than 46-years of supply chain experience and, as an affiliate of Premier Inc., one of the nation’s largest GPOs, enables members to take advantage of more than $86 billion in purchasing power. When you join CNECT you’ll gain access to a nationwide team of representatives who will work alongside you to develop custom solutions that will help you make the most out of your CNECT GPO partnership, save money, and streamline your procurement. CNECT members also get access to member-only resources, including expert-led, live and on-demand webinars and custom newsletters.
