About Forum Purchasing

Forum Purchasing is a different type of Group Purchasing
Organization. We operate in a not-for-profit manner.
We charge only a minimal administrative fee (1%) to suppliers. We then return anything not needed to cover our expenses directly to our Members. Other factors that differentiate us:

• Our collective Members represent more than $1.5 billion of annual spend.
• We provide suppliers with direct access to committed purchasing volume.
• Aggregated committed member volume allows us to negotiate below, and thus set, the lowest price point in the market.
• Members are required to have at least 4,000 beds and satisfy other strict membership criteria.
• We make key business and contracting decisions via a board (1 seat per Member) voting process.
• 100% of ALL rebates are returned to Members.
