Bespoke Community Cooperatives is a Public Benefit Corporation that provides tailored administrative services to form and manage SLED-focused cooperative purchasing groups. Our services are ideal for public agencies that want to procure jointly as well as existing cooperatives that are looking to grow and expand without the need to hire or invest in expensive technologies.
No, Bespoke works with public agencies and existing cooperatives to provide administrative services so entities can create and grow their own customizable, community-driven cooperatives. These cooperatives can prioritize local and social responsibility goals and compliance requirements, offering flexibility and inclusivity.
Your community can be any group that makes sense to jointly procure together:
- Geographical - Is your leadership encouraging you to work together with the city, county, K12 or higher education groups in your local area?
- Agency Type - Are you part of a group that procures unique items and wonder if you could get better pricing by procuring together (airports, parks, water treatment, facilities, etc.)?
- Existing Cooperative - Does your existing cooperative need support to get to the next level?
Because community cooperatives encourage group procurement, Bespoke benefits include
- cost savings
- streamlined procurement processes
- access to a wider range of suppliers (including local, regional and national businesses)
- support for service-related contracts
- enhanced contract management and sharing
- powerful data and reporting
All of these benefits come with no additional administrative burdens on the agency.
To join or form a Community Cooperative, reach out to Bespoke to begin the process. We will guide you through creating or joining a group that meets your specific needs and objectives.
