Is the Juice Worth the Squeeze?
The Risks and Rewards of Group Purchasing

Offered by Small Districts

Group purchasing methods are risky, but they can ease the burden of purchasing and provide districts with prime pricing. While this procurement method has perks, it also comes with many statutory requirements—and your government needs to know them to ensure compliance and avoid costly missteps. Attend this session for an overview of the requirements for group purchasing, common pitfalls, and tips for navigating this procurement method.
