About
Concord

“…Concord operates a network of committed strategic partners that deliver pre-negotiated services to existing members while also helping to expand the reach of our contracted portfolio to new members.”

Concord is a strategic purchasing group that draws on its decades of shared experience in the traditional Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) industry to help clients source smarter. Our mission is to help businesses in markets not typically served by GPOs unlock greater savings through more sophisticated procurement strategies. Concord’s innovative model combines strategic sourcing support, a partnership with one of the largest GPO contract portfolios in the industry, and the elimination of the membership fees and minimum purchasing volumes required by many other groups – all in service to greater savings and efficiency by members. We bring the best of the GPO model to clients in manufacturing, professional services, hospitality, associations and more… We look forward to serving your business today.

Our GPO Partners

Concord’s deep contract portfolio is supported through a partnership with one of the nation’s largest GPOs.
