agree  philgoddard: I agree with Kim that an Unternehmensverbund can be a group of associated companies, but I think in this context it clearly means partnerships with other companies. It could also mean a syndicate or consortium for bidding purposes.

corporate group contracts


Explanation:
This is a tough one. And Unternehmensverbund or Unternehmensverbindung is a group of companies. http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/business_commerc...
But "group of companies contracts" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

Corporate Group Contract
As a hotel, or health and leisure group, you may wish to consider the financial and operational benefits of a 'corporate group contract' for all your swimming pools and spas.
http://www.kingfisherpoolcare.co.uk/services.html

A corporate group (or a "group of companies") is a collection of parent and subsidiary corporations that function as a single economic entity through a common source of control. The concept of a group is frequently used in tax law, accounting and (less frequently) company law to attribute the rights and duties of one member of the group to another or the whole. If the corporations are engaged in entirely different businesses, the group is called a conglomerate.
