If you have built a strong working relationship with your local supplier and its sales rep over many years, you need to think hard about whether you want to jeopardize that rapport for unproven savings. It's possible you can negotiate better deals with an established supplier that appreciates your business, invites you to local trade shows and brings regular samples for you to try. It never hurts to negotiate, and you could get a better deal just by revealing that you're considering a GPO service.
It's also important to consider the value of ordering from nearby farms and stimulating the local economy. Small savings on ingredients can't make up for the benefits of serving food raised or produced in your hometown or nearby facilities. Don't underestimate the marketing value of buying and supporting local goods and services.
