CONSORTIUM PURCHASING AGREEMENTS
To ease the burden of the procurement process and speed our members’ time to implementation and innovation, EdgeMarket enables Edge to deliver consortium purchasing agreements to members. With EdgeMarket, members gain access to current technologies at an affordable price focused on delivering optimum value.
EdgeMarket is at the core of every technology service, product and solution Edge provides to its members in public and private education institutions, state and local government, healthcare providers, and nonprofits. With time and resources stretched, Edge members find value in EdgeMarket because it minimizes the amount of effort required to research, analyze, and procure essential tools through three purchase methods:
- Lead Agency Status – Education Services Corporation
- Cooperative Pricing System
- Shared Services Agreement with NJSBA
EdgeMarket is your solutions and services “easy button,” enabling you to quickly and affordably procure directly with Edge and our authorized partners. We invite you to explore our entire Technology Solutions Portfolio to gain an understanding of available product and service offerings, familiarize yourself with our strategic partnerships, and review areas of need for your organization or institution.
