°Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï

Description

Imagine this common school example... you have a preferred supplier you have been working with for many years but want to validate their rate on the open market - without offending the incumbent. °Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï Buyer Connect allows you to log a request for pricing and automatically align it with local and suitable school vendors who will quote on the details provided – without identifying your school!

°Ç¸ç³Ô¹Ï Buyer Connect is a new, easy-to-use platform designed specifically for our Member schools - to make procurement smarter, faster, and more transparent.

Join us for a short and practical 45-minute webinar to discover how this purpose-built tool can help your school streamline procurement, enhance visibility and governance, and deliver real savings in time and cost.
