Pre-Negotiated Supplier Programs
Pre-Negotiated Supplier Programs to Deliver Expedited Cost Savings
Gain access to competitive pre-negotiated contracts with top tier suppliers across multiple categories with the Corcentric Indirect GPO
Cost reduction, supplier consolidation, and more effective category management are perennial goals for Procurement and Sourcing teams. While strategic sourcing and competitive bidding are the default techniques available to purchasing professionals to achieve these goals, it’s important not to overlook the power of group purchasing and pre-negotiated supplier programs.

What is a GPO?
A Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) leverages the combined buying power of multiple companies to obtain competitive pricing, service levels, terms, and/or conditions from suppliers. By joining a GPO, an individual company or business can receive preferential pricing from suppliers even if their spend or annual volumes are much lower than the suppliers’ top customers.
The pre-negotiated supplier discounts offered by a GPO are a strong fit for:
- Organizations looking to reduce costs but lacking the buying power to negotiate best in class contracts and pricing on their own
- Procurement teams without the time or resources to invest in fully managing a spend category
- Companies with limited control over specific spend items or highly fragmented supply bases
- Anyone looking for quick, low-touch cost reduction solutions!
