Both purchasers and app developers need to specifically enroll in the program in order to be eligible for bulk purchases. Corporate buyers don't get a discount, but it is much easier to purchase bulk apps via VPP instead of requiring corporate iOS device owners to purchase apps separately and get reimbursed -- developers can choose to offer a discount to K-12 and higher education institutions, but it is not required.
