A guided process
Know what happens before you begin.
The Alliance keeps the process structured and transparent. Members remain in control of what they buy, and suppliers remain responsible for delivering what they sell.
Member journey
- 1Apply with basic business information and purchasing interests.
- 2The Alliance verifies the business and approves or requests more information.
- 3Complete a guided profile and review opportunities relevant to your company.
- 4Choose whether to participate in a bid or supplier program—participation is never automatic.
- 5Contract directly with the selected supplier and confirm simple deal and revenue records.
Supplier journey
- 1Apply with service categories, coverage area, capacity, insurance, and qualifications.
- 2Complete compliance requirements after approval.
- 3Receive invitations to opportunities that match your capabilities.
- 4Submit a clear bid, answer questions, and enter the supplier program agreement if selected.
- 5Contract directly with members, report Alliance-generated revenue, and resolve any differences before fees are finalized.
Important: An Alliance award creates an approved supplier program; it does not by itself force a member to buy. The actual products, services, price, term, and performance obligations belong in the direct agreement between the member and supplier.
