National Buying Consortium for PPE Needs

To all Hospitals and Teams Responsible for Purchasing:

Hospitals and clinics like yours across the U.S. are in immediate need of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to respond to the impact of COVID-19. On Saturday, March 28, National Nurses United made a public plea for masks to protect your teams on the front lines.

Procurement and supply chain leader Coupa [NASDAQ: COUP] processes nearly $1.7 trillion of cumulative business spend for some of the biggest hospitals and companies in the world and has built a Nationwide Buying Consortium with 20+ suppliers standing by to provide hospitals with the necessary PPE. There is no cost or licensing fee associated with participation in the consortium. It’s a not-for-profit program that will provide hospitals with the following immediate benefits:

  1. Access to suppliers with PPE supplies and certainty of PPE item availability;
  2. Visibility into pricing and better price stabilization through aggregated spending;
  3. Better organized distribution of supplies to areas in need across individual state and the United States; and
  4. Immediate time-to-value as the supplier community is active and has already been mobilized for other businesses responding to COVID-19.

Coupa urges hospitals and clinics to join this consortium immediately. It only takes a few hours to be fully onboarded at no cost to you.

Please respond to me or [email protected] to hear more about the program and getting involved. Together, we can have an immediate impact and get these critical supplies in the hands of those in need.

Sincerely,
Steve Winter
