Tier 1 Manufacturer Contracting & Enablement
Purchasing Services continually investigates opportunities for new supplier
cost savings and increased participation in the
Penn Marketplace to further streamline the ordering process
for all BEN Buys users.
The Tier 1 Manufacturer Contracting and Enablement initiative helps
Purchasing Services achieve two goals: leverage annual spend with Penn's top volume
manufactures and enable of manufacturer specific online catalogs in the
Penn Marketplace. Campus wide and School and Center
specific strategic sourcing activities provides visibility into
total university spend with key manufacturers across all major commodity areas. The top
volume manufacturers in each commodity area will be recruited for inclusion in this
initiative.
Who Benefits from this Initiative?

BEN Buys users receive manufacturer supported
discounts that are generally deeper than what is available directly from a contract
distributor. The manufacturer enabled catalogs also make it easier to find the
desired products in the Penn Marketplace.
- Manufacturers
Direct participation in the Penn Marketplace provides
greater visibility to a manufacturer's product offering and offers new internal
marketing opportunities via the
Supplier
Showcase program.
- Distributors
Mapping the distribution channel for manufacturer enabled
Penn Marketplace suppliers to
preferred contract suppliers supports existing contractual relationships and results
in increased market share for participating suppliers.

Leveraging manufacturer relationships will result in new cost savings and value added
benefit opportunities resulting from a more strategic alliance with the manufacturer.
