Procurement professionals in higher ed don’t have the time or resources to accomplish all they need to do.
E&I is 100% focused on meeting the needs of the education community.
We make the purchasing process as simple as possible by offering solutions that help you save time and optimize your education dollars.
Our innovative strategy exclusively developed to help our members succeed. At the core of this strategy is our comprehensive portfolio of more than 150 contracts designed for education. We’ve developed a number of key solutions to support our contracts including Strategic Spend Assessments, eProcurement options, and are currently developing a performance management program.
Partner with us to conduct a Strategic Spend Assessment (SSA). This consultative, strategic service helps our members rationalize and streamline their sourcing and spend activities. This structured, repeatable process is offered at no cost to you and includes a detailed review and analysis of your high-level spend data for opportunities to reduce costs, bring more spend under contract, and maximize spend control and efficiencies.
Key SSA components include:
eProcurement delivers many benefits for educational institutions looking to source more effectively and efficiently. E&I offers members a range of eProcurement solutions, from our no-cost online marketplace VERVE, to several platforms with varying levels of functionality and integration capabilities.
Included as part of your E&I membership, VERVE is an online service that delivers a seamless campus-wide shopping experience for member institutions. This secure, centralized shopping experience allows you and your end-users to source products and services you need from a range of E&I contracts.
