Crown Commercial Service

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is appointed by government to save money for the public sector and the taxpayer, and to improve the quality of commercial and procurement activity. In order to do this, CCS implements and manages a range of procurement frameworks. There are several IT-related frameworks, on which trusted suppliers are awarded a place. Public sector organisations can then use these frameworks to run their procurement simply and efficiently, only giving access to those suppliers who can offer the best value and quality.
