How We Do It
The Hui provides lower prices for goods and services through cost containment contracts. Contracts are member driven. Hui Members determine the types of contracts and award the contracts. The Hui sends out a Request for Proposal (bid). The bid is sent to all vendors statewide. The Hui compiles the returned bid information onto a spreadsheet. Hui Members meet monthly to review the information and award the contracts. The Hui finalizes the details of the contracts with the awarded vendors. The contracts become the price list for the Hui Members to use when purchasing. All Hui Vendors are properly licensed and insured.
