Consortia
Consortium partners
Our buying consortium partners are associations or
groups that orchestrate group purchasing contracts on behalf of their members
with a common set of purchasing needs, suppliers, goods or services. These
consortia leverage their SciQuest relationship to offer a more strategic
procurement environment to the members of their associations. When consortium
pricing is enabled through the SciQuest solution, customer spending with
vendors contracted through the buying consortia increases while the end
customers experience increased buying power and significant cost savings.
SciQuest’s market presence and customer base increase proportionally.
