The Value of Cooperative Purchasing

Cooperative purchasing is a fast-growing trend. It opens up new doors for governmental agencies, increasing your buying power so you get more value for every dollar. Learn about past Caterpillar contracts that have scored high across multiple criteria. The simple process paired with industry-leading Cat® equipment makes cooperative purchasing an easy way for customers to win in their work.


 

Caterpillar Cooperative Purchasing Contracts with Sourcewell

When Sourcewell awarded its competitively solicited contract to Caterpillar, they compared our proposal to multiple criteria that help governmental agencies determine the best value when making purchase decisions. And gave us top marks.

Caterpillar’s response — which included considerations such as pricing, customer service, warranties and more — was scored the highest among 14 equipment manufacturers who submitted responses. In addition to new machine sales, the contract lets Cat® dealers sell parts, service, used equipment and rent machines.

“We are extremely proud that the inherent value in Cat equipment was reflected in receiving the highest scoring response to this RFP,” said Ann Schreifels, Caterpillar Governmental Sales Manager. “Cooperative purchasing is a great way to ensure that governmental customers receive the best value for their money. This is our fourth award from Sourcewell, and we couldn’t be happier with the relationship we have with them. The strong focus they have on serving their members' needs is perfectly in line with our own emphasis on customer satisfaction.”

Cooperative contract use is a fast-growing trend for governmental purchases thanks to its simple process and time-saving benefits. Additionally, it provides member agencies with the ability to make decisions based on overall value. Through our partnership with Sourcewell, you will get access to Cat equipment that delivers a lower cost of ownership, reduced maintenance costs and better efficiency without the hassle of bidding. That’s what we call value.
