About us
Crown Commercial Service (CCS), a Trading Fund and Executive Agency of the Cabinet Office, helps the public sector get better value when buying.
Who we are
We are procurement experts, helping the public sector buy common goods and services, so they can maximise every pound, meaning precious resources can go where they’re needed most.
Our service is free for the UK public sector and covers all common goods and services. Buyers can access everything from temporary staff and energy, to laptops and police cars.
Our ambition is to increase the value the public sector gains from working with CCS year on year. In 2023/24, our customers achieved commercial benefits equal to £4.9 billion. Commercial benefits include factors such as cost or time savings and reaching carbon net zero targets.
Our offices are in Birmingham, Liverpool, Norwich, Newport and London.
Our responsibilities
We’re responsible for:
- providing maximum value to public sector organisations in their procurement of everyday goods and services
- operating as a Trading Fund under the Government Trading Funds Act 1973
