You don’t have to go it alone. At no cost, you will:
Michael Logan, C.P.M., Director of Purchasing & Contracts, UNC Greensboro
UNC Greensboro regularly relies on E&I contracts to provide time and cost efficiencies. Before going out to bid, they check the state of North Carolina and UNC System agreements, then check with E&I. Some of the most extensively used contracts on campus are Steelcase and Lowe’s.
“It’s a no-brainer for a higher ed institution to take advantage of what E&I offers. They are here to help you with a large portfolio of contracts that you begin using immediately. As a procurement professional, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.”
Robby Bounds, Executive Director, Procurement Services, Texas A&M University
“Starting in 2021, Texas A&M University joined forces with Batteries Plus to equip its facilities and operations teams with a diverse selection of power, lighting, and repair solutions. This collaboration allows the university to leverage the purchasing power offered by the E&I Cooperative Services agreement, resulting in substantial price reductions and improved efficiencies through the university’s e-procurement platform. Moreover, Texas A&M University benefits from convenient on-hand inventory and flexible delivery options, such as store pickup and curbside services. The best part is all these valuable services are provided by the local Batteries Plus store, a Texas Historically Underutilized Business (HUB).”
