Central Purchasing Bodies

Central Purchasing Bodies (CPBs) are organizations that streamline the procurement process for public sector entities, such as government agencies and local authorities. They consolidate purchasing power to negotiate better deals and efficiently manage resources. By centralizing purchases of goods and services, CPBs help save costs, ensure compliance with regulations, and improve transparency. Essentially, they act as a middleman to help various institutions acquire what they need at more favorable prices and terms, ultimately benefiting taxpayers and improving public service delivery.
