Community Health Centers and non-profit organizations play a vital role in delivering essential services to underserved communities. However, limited financial resources often hinder their ability to access specialized expertise in critical operational and administrative areas. The Consultant’s Bureau is an innovative solution to address these challenges by offering affordable access to a pool of skilled consultants.
At CPG, we welcome proposals from interested Consultants. Our selection process includes a thorough review and interview process. This way, we can ensure that each vendor is prepared to deliver the highest level of customer service alongside measurable discounts on group contract prices.
Vendors are removed from the CPG portfolio at the close of the contractual period if we’ve witnessed an insufficient level of purchasing activity—or if other member-related issues arise.
At CPG, we prefer vendors who, rather than providing reports, can demonstrate their value to our membership by providing purchasing assistance, assisting in materials management processes, and optimize cost-savings by suggesting lower-cost alternatives during the ordering processes.
Every vendor is expected to offer competitive pricing alongside exemplary customer service. At CPG, we also request monthly sales reports.
As a CPG vendor, there’s no set dollar amount owed. Instead, CPG collects a percentage of each member’s vendor purchases, paid by the vendor on a monthly or quarterly basis. This Administrative Fee accounts for necessary marketing and administrative services.
Most CPG contracts are set for one year, with the option to renew for one additional year.
Although not mandatory, CPG feels that web-based purchasing facilitates efficiency and helps to contain costs for our valued membership.
All vendor contracts are voluntary.
Often, our members make vendor recommendations based on their evolving contractual needs. From time to time, we add new vendors who offer additional value to our membership, and vendors are invited to contact CPG with proposals at any time.
In almost every case, we have only one vendor per category—unless CPG requires more than one to provide satisfactory member services on a national basis.
Each year CPG attends and exhibits at dozens of annual state primary care association meetings, national community health center conferences, and other regional and national organization conferences.
