Our People
Our team is composed of Registered Nurses, Licensed Pharmacists, Pharmacy Assistants, certified purchasing professionals, and business professionals with supply chain expertise who understand first-hand the clinical considerations as well as the challenges facing healthcare organizations today. We work directly with our membership to provide assistance, insight and support throughout the entire contracting cycle to ensure quality products are available at the best possible price.
Our Flexibility
Members join Medbuy because they understand and have evidence that standardization and high compliance can maximize savings opportunities. Our single-source contracts have long been the best way to do this. However, we also offer multi-source opportunities for product categories, such as capital equipment, that simply cannot be standardized across all organizations. In this way, Members get the products and services their organizations need while continuing to get best possible pricing.
Our Support
Medbuy is a Member-driven organization. We leverage the extensive expertise of our staff to support Member needs and decision-making throughout each stage of the contracting process. We also work directly with Members to ensure that a seamless transition to, or implementation of, our contracts is achieved. Some of our Members have seen an immediate savings of up to 15% within weeks of starting conversion to Medbuy contracts.
Our Systems
Medbuy provides its Members with access to a spend management system of web-based applications that help identify new contract opportunities, establish and manage contracts that best meet Members' needs and maximize the savings potential. In fact, Medbuy is the only GPO in Canada with the capacity to provide a sophisticated technology suite to its membership that has the power to enable sound purchasing decisions and drive almost immediate savings.
Our Rigour
Medbuy is committed to ensuring that a fair, equitable, rigorous and structured contracting process takes place each and every time we go to market on our Members' behalf. Regardless of whether it is a single or multi-source opportunity, we always exercise due diligence in sourcing, evaluation and contract award.
At a time when there is an unmatched level of scrutiny with respect to public sector spending, our Members can rest assured that the process used for Medbuy contracts adheres to the latest provincial and federal guidelines and laws with respect to public procurement.
