Using statewide contracts enables schools to leverage better buying power, save time and reduce costs compared to setting up individual supplier agreements. All suppliers on statewide contracts are thoroughly evaluated, and the rates are capped but negotiable, giving schools flexibility to secure the best value for their needs.
