Agreements Directory
Focused Education Resources sources, vets, and negotiates contracts for our members, covering: areas such as: operations, facilities, hardware, IT Services, software, operational supplies, and transportation.
Our initiative extends beyond mere cost savings, focusing on the procurement of quality resources and services. By harnessing our collective bargaining power, we not only achieve better financial terms but also ensure alignment with our members' long-term goals and values.
Procurement Resources
Recognizing that our members deal with many of the same issues in day-to-day operations (e.g., contracting for minor and major capital improvements, retaining consultants, entering into software licenses, arranging for student transportation, etc.) but vary in size, in complexity, and in resources available to devote to procurement activities, we saw an opportunity to cost-effectively procure and make available to you, our members, a broadly useful suite of procurement documents, templates, and guides that have been vetted by legal counsel.
