Crown Commercial Service
The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is a UK government organization that helps public sector bodies—like hospitals, schools, and local authorities—purchase goods and services more efficiently and cost-effectively. It negotiates contracts with suppliers to secure better prices and terms, ensuring value for money and compliance with regulations. By providing a centralized platform for procurement, CCS streamlines purchasing processes, reduces administrative burdens, and promotes transparency in sourcing essential products and services across the public sector.
