The Commercial Services Program is a service organized and operated by CHF BC. Using the combined buying power of many co-ops, we are able to save you money and guarantee a high level of quality and service. Whether you are an occupied or developing co-op, CHF BC's Commercial Services Program will help keep your costs down and protect your budget and replacement reserves.

  • We handle the hassles of product research and price negotiations for you.
  • You don’t need to buy in bulk to get bulk pricing. The bulk purchase program allows you to buy what you need when you need it. All orders – large or small - are welcome.
  • Your satisfaction is our priority. Contracts are reviewed annually and renewed every three years after an open tender process to ensure the best mix of price, quality and service.

We value your feedback. If you have any questions or comments about CHF BC’s Commercial Services Program, contact our Commercial Services Director, Julie Hunter.

 

What Kind of Products & Services are Available?

CHF BC will come to your co-op and make a presentation about any of the products or services in our Bulk Purchase Program.
