How the work flows

Trigger: A strategic sourcing review identifies fragmented spend that can be aggregated across business units or external partners to secure better supplier pricing.

  1. Identify spend categories and materials suitable for volume pooling.
  2. Recruit internal business units or external partner organizations to participate in the consortium.
  3. Establish the consortium governance, legal framework, and operational rules.
  4. Standardize material specifications and aggregate demand forecasts across participants.
  5. Negotiate master supplier agreements leveraging the pooled purchasing volume.
  6. Onboard participating members to the new supplier contracts and procurement systems.
  7. Track purchasing compliance and distribute realized cost savings among members.

Outcome: A structured buying consortium is operational, allowing participating members to procure materials under negotiated, high-volume master agreements.
