CMPA_Terms_and_Conditions.pdf

This document is an Addendum to the Cincinnati Metro Procurement Alliance (CMPA) Contract Requirements, involving Bespoke Community Cooperatives, LLC and Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority. The document outlines a cooperative purchasing group that includes local governments, educational institutions, special districts, and non-profits in Greater Cincinnati, designed to leverage joint buying power and secure better pricing and terms for procurement. The CMPA allows potential suppliers to engage through a single point of contact, simplifying the sales and procurement process, and provides opportunities for businesses to access contracts they might not independently secure.

The administrative fee structure requires awarded suppliers to pay a two percent (2%) administrative fee on total sales made through the Master Agreement, which will be collected by BESPOKE on behalf of CMPA. Suppliers may receive benefits including exposure to CMPA members, marketing support, training resources, and data usage trends. Monthly sales reporting is mandatory, with reports due by the 15th of each month, detailing sales quantities, entities, and total sales value. The document also specifies that the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority will not receive administrative fees in its role as a Lead Procurement Agency (LPA), while other CMPA members serving as LPAs may elect to receive 15% of the administrative fees from contracts they host.
