OfficeMax, Naperville, Ill., USA, and E&I Cooperative Purchasing (E&I), the largest higher education purchasing consortium in North America, this week announced a new five-year contract for office supplies. The contract allows E&I members to take advantage of an enhanced program including reductions in overall pricing, an expanded list of core program items tailored for each participating member, and an expanded selection of office supplies, print services, technology solutions, furniture, asset disposition, and a closed-loop paper system. A special Early Adopter incentive rebate will be offered to E&I members who sign on to the program by year-end 2010, and the agreement features aggressive ongoing rebates based on volume and service package.

"OfficeMax provides a range of competitive and reliable purchasing options for higher education institutions at a time when the cost savings really matter the most," said Tom Fitzgerald, CEO of E&I. "We are excited about the many enhancements available through this new agreement and we look forward to continuing to deliver increased savings opportunities to our members."
