Describe your company's current technology and solutions
Kinetic GPO is a Canadian based leading national purchasing cooperative, providing world class compliant government procurement resources and solutions to Broader Public Sector and MASH entities across Canada. This includes organizations such as municipalities, Provinces, hospitals, school districts, higher education institutions, and nonprofit entities. As a collaborative sourcing partner, Kinetic GPO has a specific purpose of reducing procurement cost by leveraging the purchasing power of group buying and saving our members time by simplifying steps to procure.

Kinetic GPO utilizes a fair, open, and transparent procurement process. Our RFx's are issued in a manner similar to what most Broader Public Sector and MASH entities utilize. Through our partnership with OMNIA Partners we are able to leverage over $10B in spend across North America. We use this buying power to help Canadian entities maximize their resources. Furthermore, our collaborative approach, ensures that Canadian based suppliers have the ability to offer goods and services to the public sector. In essence Kinetic GPO helps maximize taxpayers dollars, while allowing Canadian organizations a chance to do business in a compliant manner.

Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) are widely used in Canada especially in the medical health and education sectors. Kinetic is advancing the purchasing power of entities across Canada by taking what has worked, expanding on those strategies and offering our portfolio to a full range of Public Sector and MASH entities.

Kinetic GPO's technology contract covers a broad spectrum of IT products and solutions from a wide portfolio of top brands. Through our IT contract, public entities can access more than 1,000 brands and over 100,000 products. The product offering includes custom solutions such as cloud, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and the digital workspace. Popular product categories such as notebooks, desktops, printers, monitors, networking, memory, software, accessories, and much more are also all under contract.

Kinetic GPO's broad array of technology offering, proved to be of extreme value during the current pandemic. Public entities were able to access and utilize a compliant existing contract to help their employees transition to the work-from-home environment. This enabled the public sector to be agile with purchasing, while meeting the needs of their employees and citizens.
