How It Works

National leverage.
Operator-grade execution.

Premier negotiates the national manufacturer contracts. Performance Purchasing Partners is your sponsor and single point of contact — running the Market Basket Review, onboarding, analytics and ongoing advisory. US Foods handles distribution. One unified procurement engine, three accountable parties.

The Partnership

Three organizations. One procurement engine working for you.

Performance Purchasing Partners orchestrates a three-party partnership that delivers national purchasing leverage, dedicated advisory and proven distribution — without changing your operating model.

    • Negotiates national manufacturer agreements
    • Aggregates $60B+ in committed volume
    • Locks pricing tiers and program terms

Built for trust

A partnership on your terms — not ours.

We earn our seat at your table every quarter. The structure is designed so the only reason to stay is documented savings.

Complimentary to engage

The Market Basket Review, onboarding and advisory work that scope the opportunity carry no obligation. You see the contract depth before committing to anything.

Leave at any time

No long-term contracts. Operators can exit the program at any time without penalty — your vendor relationships remain entirely yours.

Only what saves you money

Adopt categories à la carte. If a program does not measurably improve your P&L against a documented benchmark, you do not use it.

Procurement workflow

A measured engagement, not a sales process.

Every PPP Corps engagement begins with a complimentary benchmark and ends with a written recommendation you own — regardless of whether you choose to activate any program.

Step 01

Discovery conversation

A 30-minute working session with your operations and finance leads. We map current vendors, contract structure, category spend and operational pain points — no documents required to start.

Step 02

Market Basket Review

Share 3–5 national food products — item name, brand, quantity, and current pricing if available. We benchmark them against PPP Corps national agreements to identify whether broader purchasing review opportunities exist.

Step 03

Recommendation

We deliver a written opportunity assessment with category-by-category savings, vendor consolidation options, and a phased activation roadmap. You decide what to adopt — nothing is bundled.

Step 04

Activation

Our team handles vendor enrollments, pricing file installation, contract enrollment and operator training. Onboarding typically runs 2–3 months from agreement signing to full activation.

Step 05

Continuous review

Quarterly business reviews with spend analytics, compliance reporting and category roadmaps. Your dedicated account team keeps your programs benchmarked against the market.

Market Basket Review

The complimentary benchmark that starts every engagement.

Share 3–5 national food products — item, brand, quantity, and current pricing if available. We benchmark them against Premier's national manufacturer agreements and walk the findings with you live. No fee, no obligation, NDA protected.
