The key value for the agency is resource savings. On average, OMNIA Partners participating
agencies will save 5% over traditional procurement practices. Most agencies today are spread too thin. Agencies have downsized administrative departments, and open
purchasing and maintenance positions are left unfilled. The OMNIA Partners program provides a mechanism to save the time and costs associated with obtaining
quotes or preparing solicitations. The time savings allow the department to accomplish its work tasks more efficiently with the personnel on hand.
All Knoll products are included.
YES! There is an option available allowing clients to place orders directly with the Knoll dealer. In addition, this option may help agencies meet "buy local" or "small business procurement" goals. Contact your Knoll representative for additional information
It's very easy! First, the agency needs to register with OMNIA Partners if they are not already registered. After receiving a formal proposal from a Knoll dealer, the purchase order needs to reference the Knoll / OMNIA Partners contract # 4400003404. Specific purchase order requirements will be provided by your dealer and will include asking you to enclosed a Tax Exempt certificate if not paying tax.
Whether the client purchase order is addressed to Knoll or to the Knoll dealer, the client purchase order should be sent to the Knoll dealer so that they can review it for accuracy. The Knoll dealer will then forward the agency purchase order to Knoll electronically along with a full bill of materials.
