What is group purchasing?
Group purchasing is a purchasing strategy designed to enable groups of independent buyers with similar needs to combine their purchasing power to get discounts and other benefits on the goods and services they buy. Group purchasing organizations, or GPOs, manage the group purchasing process and negotiate contracts with vendors on behalf of the buyers they represent. A group purchasing contract is simply the agreed upon pricing and other benefits available to GPO participants through a GPO-selected vendor.

When we encountered a challenge with a supplier, BuyQ stepped in immediately and ensured the issue was resolved. Their high level of support and genuine commitment to the success of our schools sets them apart. I wholeheartedly recommend BuyQ to any school seeking a procurement partner.
As an active participant in a BuyQ RFP committee, I can attest to BuyQ’s diligence in securing the most competitive pricing for schools. BuyQ serves as an invaluable resource, empowering schools to save money and optimize their limited budgets effectively.
