Joint procurement
Why join?
With buying power through our joint procurement model, Expandio improves your commercial terms & conditions significantly. The more customers (the members) join the collective, the higher the revenue we can offer to the suppliers we work with and the better the commercial conditions for our members.
Keep focus on your core business. Expandio follows the market developments for commodity price indexes (e.g. Platt’s, Eeuwid). This allows us to maintain the decreased total cost of ownership at the start with at least the same terms & conditions also after the first year.
Does this joint procurement model offer you advantages too?
To clarify this, we take the following steps:
- Step 0: Introduction
- Step 1: Non Disclosure agreement (NDA)
- Step 2: Fact finding/Data
- Step 3: Customer opportunities
- Step 4: Commercial terms
- Step 5: Final case
- Step 6: Procurement contract(s)
At step 3, we are able to provide a broad overview of the opportunities for your company. Up to and including this step, our activities are entirely free of charge and obligation. With your consent to proceed, we will send you a commercial proposal and start next steps.
We work on the basis of fixed price– as well as no-cure no-pay. As an example, we highlight two joint procurement categories below.
