Major Benefits Compared to Group Purchasing Organizations

Cooperative Purchasing Organizations and Group Purchasing Organizations do have a lot in common when it comes to their overall purpose and goals, but there also many crucial distinctions between the two, and cooperative purchasing offers several key benefits that GPOs do not. Cooperative purchasing groups offer:

  • Access to a broad range of suppliers specializing in specific industries.
  • Greater customization to help meet specific industry needs.
  • Significant cost savings through collective bargaining.
  • More flexibility as members can start or stop purchasing as needed.
  • More control over procurement processes.
  • Builds stronger relationships among members.
