Streamline procurement with cooperative contracts

Managing the procurement process can be challenging, especially for public sector organizations with limited resources. Cooperative purchasing agreements provide access to competitive pricing and pre-negotiated terms and conditions for consulting services. They can help streamline the procurement process, reducing administrative costs, and making it faster, more cost-effective, and efficient.

Plante Moran is pre-qualified to provide consulting services to state, local and education (SLED) agencies around the nation through many cooperative contracts. This means it’s easier than ever to access the expertise you need without a lengthy and costly procurement process.

Frequently asked questions

What other terms might I hear?

Cooperative procurement contracts are known by different names across the public sector. Depending on your organization or region, you may hear terms such as cooperative purchasing, cooperative purchasing agreements, cooperative procurement, purchasing cooperatives, cooperative contract programs, or contract vehicles.

While terminology varies, these approaches generally help eligible organizations access services through competitively sourced contracts that can streamline the procurement process.

Is this the same as a master state agreement?
Not necessarily. Master state agreements and cooperative procurement contracts can be related procurement concepts, but they are not interchangeable. Eligibility, scope, and purchasing rules depend on the specific contract.
