Why Higher Education Cooperative Agreements Help Colleges and Universities

Rising inflation, budget cuts, and increasing public scrutiny have placed pressure on higher learning institutions to pursue cost savings. But individual schools can lack the scale and leverage needed to drive down cost from suppliers. Higher education cooperative agreements offer an alternative via pooling resources and facing these challenges. Higher education cooperative agreements in procurement create cost savings, expanded options, improved quality and service, increased efficiency, and have no obligations. Members can view an expansive list of available agreements, compare to current purchasing, and top-in if they choose.
