NEBHE, through its partnership with the Midwestern Higher Education Compact (MHEC), offers Cost Savings programs that were developed in response to recognized needs by postsecondary institutions. Cost Savings is an area of NEBHE that grows as needs are identified. All education institutions or public agencies in New England can participate.
NEBHE offers cost saving purchasing options through its agreements with MHEC. These agreements aggregate volume purchases to lower product costs and reduce the time institutions must spend developing and conducting an RFP process and reviewing bids since this work is done by MHEC. Institutions and organizations can purchase the goods or services knowing that the due diligence in selecting the vendor has already been done. These savings are available to New England colleges and universities; K-12 districts and entities; city, county, and state governments, and some non-profit organizations purchasing computers, software, printers, and other products.
NEBHE offers MHEC Cyber Insurance, an approach that analyzes the cyber threat environment, assesses vulnerabilities in security through controls and determines financial exposure. The program benchmarks how much cyber coverage similar institutions are buying.
