MEMBERS WHO GET INVOLVED

Membership in CENTRAL PURCHASING is for our members a guarantee of sustainability and one of the axes of their development policy.

This is why our members' teams have the opportunity to invest in the operation and development of their purchasing center by participating in the various decision-making bodies: Steering Committees, Purchasing Committees, Purchasing Commissions , Sustainable Purchasing Commission.

Why and how?

Purchasing commissions are essential to referencing a supplier effectively. They bring together buyers from our members or specialists in a particular theme in order to reference one or more suppliers.

Examples: Interim Commission, Building Commission, Equipment Rental Commission, QSE Commission, etc.

Purchasing committees bring together buyers from our main members and select suppliers.

The Steering Committees are made up of directors of member companies. Their role is to help define the CENTRAL PURCHASING strategy.

Goals

Make CENTRAL PURCHASING a purchasing group representative of the interests and concerns of its members

Define the CENTRAL PURCHASING strategy in relation to the needs of its members

Encourage the sharing of good practices between men and women making up our members’ teams and grow the CENTRAL PURCHASING network

 

AN ANIMATION TEAM
VERY PRESENT

Our animation team is dedicated to the commercial animation of framework agreements.
Its goal is to create a link between members and listed suppliers.

Why and how?

We believe that a well-negotiated framework agreement is of no use if it is not deployed on the ground. PME CENTRALE fights every day to ensure that the negotiated framework agreements are effective and used on construction sites, in factories, etc.

Purchasing committees bring together buyers from our main members and select suppliers.

The Steering Committees are made up of directors of member companies. Their role is to help define the CENTRAL PURCHASING strategy.
