  6. Inter University Council of Ohio • The Inter-University Council of Ohio was established in 1939 as a voluntary educational association of Ohio’s public universities. • Today the association represents Ohio’s 14 public universities with standing committees

  7. Inter University Council of Ohio The IUC Purchasing Group came about as a result of the State Legislature’s desire to “investigate the prices being paid by different state institutions for like items” And so it began….consortium buying

  8. The IUC Consortium Kent State • Voluntary Shared procurement services with a technology twist eCUBE

  9. IUC Vision and Goals • Establish a “Center of Excellence” including: • Premier Purchasing Agreements • E-Procurement Software (SciQuest) • Intelligent Contract Repository • Save member schools $ • Leveraging buying power • Streamlining efficiencies

  10. Results • Seven of fourteen Ohio IUC Schools on SciQuest • Fifteen catalogs in active use with $10 million+ spend in just 7 months • Collaborative selection of vendors among 7 schools • Collaborative Governance Model • Schools assuming management of different target commodities and run RFP processes. • Analyze spend data on an ongoing basis for the state related to their commodities.

  11. How did we get here? • Evaluated eprocurement technology options and selected SciQuest – 3 schools were already utilizing SciQuest • IUC team reviewed suppliers currently using and agreed to negotiate contracts on low bearing fruit first – suppliers being used by all – or used by most. • Categories were assigned to specific schools based on relationships and expertise – this enabled the resources to be focused on the area they were knowledgeable on for contract negotiation. • Governance Model established

  12. Future State • More Catalogs and More Contracts • IUC Contracts stored, accessed , and reviewed in SciQuest Contract Manager “Intelligent Contract Repository” • Addition of other IUC schools • Collaboration of IUC with Ohio Association of Community Colleges (OACC) on SciQuest • Drive spend through the catalogs and the Premier Purchasing Agreements • Negotiate statewide savings and efficiencies through collaborative efforts
