Cooperative Purchasing
Cooperative Purchasing
The Cooperative Purchasing Program, established by legislation is the program through which the State extends specific State contracts to eligible local buying units. Cooperative Purchasing is a collaborative effort to obtain benefits in pricing, product quality and contract process efficiencies for public purchasing entities throughout the State of New Jersey.
What Are The Benefits Of The Cooperative Purchasing Program?
BUYING POWER
Save money by using contracts that provide for volume driven cost reductions. By adding your purchases to the State’s contract, the State gains even more leverage to get the best prices and product values.
SOLICITATION PROCESS CONVENIENCE
Why reinvent the wheel. Save staff time and related expenses, such as advertising, printing and mailing, by using State specifications/contracts, designed by professionals who have experience and expertise with the products and services sought. Use of State contracts also ensures compliance with new State regulations such as “pay to play”. A purchase can be made by simply issuing a purchase order to the State contract vendor.
QUALIFIED VENDORS AND PRODUCT FLEXIBILITY
A broad selection of goods and services is offered through qualified approved vendors. Many State contracts have multiple contractors to help expedite delivery needs throughout the State.
