(for potential members)
That’s a common misconception. Many SMEs assume they need massive volumes to benefit, but that’s not the case. GPOs exist to aggregate the purchasing power of multiple small and medium-sized businesses, combining their demand to unlock the same advantages usually reserved for large enterprises.
Yes. Membership is 100% free for businesses — no sign-up costs, no hidden fees.
Our model is supplier-funded. When members purchase through group agreements, suppliers provide a small rebate back. This allows us to keep membership free, while suppliers benefit from aggregated and predictable volume.
No. Membership is designed to fit into your existing processes. You can start small, test the benefits, and scale involvement at your own pace.
No. Membership does not force immediate changes. You can join, access benchmarks and tools, and decide when and how to implement improvements.
Many members start seeing measurable benefits in the first 1–3 months through benchmarking and invoice validation. Larger, structural gains come as we implement collective agreements and ongoing monitoring.
Excellent — that’s an ideal starting point. Even well-run businesses often have hidden costs that internal teams overlook. Membership gives you external validation, access to aggregated data, and ongoing oversight to ensure performance stays high.
Membership terms are flexible. You can leave at the end of your chosen period. Most members stay because ongoing monitoring and collective leverage keep producing value.
Yes. All data is treated with strict confidentiality and is only ever used in aggregate to provide benchmarks and support collective outcomes.
A consultant provides advice. Membership provides access — to benchmarks, collective bargaining power, negotiated agreements, and monitoring tools. It’s an ongoing platform, not a one-time project.
Members have access to regular performance reviews, updated benchmarks, monitoring dashboards, and structured check-ins to ensure that savings and improvements are sustained.

No. There are no listing or sign-up fees. Partnerships are success-based and transparent. You only engage commercially when real business flows.
No. We are not a discount marketplace. Agreements are built around value, transparency, and long-term adoption — not a race to the bottom.
No. You remain in full control of your pricing and service structure. We help align frameworks so adoption is easier and relationships last longer.
Procure Partners connects you with qualified, procurement-focused businesses — typically SMBs and growth-stage companies seeking reliable long-term partners.
The group structure smooths volatility by balancing demand across multiple buyers. Quarterly reviews keep expectations aligned.
Very little. We agree on a simple reporting cadence for invoicing and performance. Wherever possible, we automate to reduce manual effort.
Most suppliers see traction after onboarding and first introductions. Structural growth builds through quarterly reviews and adoption across multiple buyers.
Selling directly often means high acquisition costs, long sales cycles, and unpredictable adoption. Procure Partners reduces friction by aggregating demand, qualifying introductions, and supporting adoption across multiple buyers at once.
