E&I proudly acts as an extension of your procurement department, providing a comprehensive offering of contracts and services that helps you optimize your education dollars.
Through our innovative Strategic Spend Assessments, we use your institution’s purchasing data to reduce costs, bring more spend under contract, and maximize control and efficiencies.
Benefit from supplier-driven rebates and financial incentives as well as our unique patronage program, which distributes funds at the end of the year based on your institution's purchases.
Ongoing contract and supplier management takes time and money – and it’s something we handle through regular supplier and contract performance reviews.
E&I continues to be a valued strategic partner for my university. I view the E&I team as an extension of my staff. By utilizing the contracts and various services offered, my team has time available to focus on more strategic tasks. I am proud to be a member of such a great Cooperative that understands the true meaning of a partnership and listens to what the members want and puts what the hear into action!

Tapping into the benefits available through E&I’s contracts is a lifesaver. It means I can get my end-users what they need much more quickly than if we had to conduct an RFP, handle the integration, and manage the contract on our own.
