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 nearly $2 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.
