Advantus Health Partners offers an opportunity for suppliers to join a unique, collaborative supply chain model. We award supplier contracts that fit our customers’ needs and encourage participation of all vendors that meet or exceed our performance standards.
Here at Advantus, our supply chain philosophy is different. We don’t believe that more is necessarily better. A wide array of products and suppliers to satisfy a broad market base traditionally leads to waste and higher costs.
Instead, we seek a narrower supplier base with best-in-class pricing. We use unique contract language that solidifies long-term sustained value for both suppliers and customers. Our method relies on perpetual optimization rather than periodic “resets.”
We build resilient supplier relationships through mutually beneficial collaboration. Our partners support our sound sourcing strategy and commitment to optimized pricing. Our model delivers sustainable value across the supply chain through standardization, transparency, contract compliance and narrow supplier awards.
Advantus Health Partners welcomes suppliers of all sizes. Whether you offer a single specialty product or an extensive inventory, you’re invited to apply to work with us.
Our successful collaborators are flexible, communicative and committed to delivering their best value. They’re proactive, engaged and strategic in planning and vision.
Our suppliers will continue to advance beyond customary supply chain operations with us. We’re committed to evidence-based, dynamic, modern and interdependent processes that track from contract signature to parcel delivery.
We are called to safeguard the earth and its resources and to help people and communities thrive. Through our environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities, we are demonstrating our commitment to being of service, honoring human dignity and serving as stewards of the earth’s limited resources. We act with integrity and hold ourselves accountable for promoting the common good.
Our organization embraces diversity. We value the gifts, talents and attributes of people from a broad range of social, ethnic and demographic backgrounds, disabilities, races, national origins, ages, religious preferences, genders and sexual orientations.
It is essential that we include diversity in our workforce, and we encourage our vendor partners to do the same. We believe this is a sound business practice. When possible, we aim to provide opportunities to small and diverse-owned businesses that support economic growth in our members’ communities.
