Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is a UK government executive agency and trading fund, established in 2014 as part of the Cabinet Office. It functions as the central purchasing body for the UK government, managing procurement of common goods and services for the public sector. The organization replaced the Government Procurement Service and operates under the broader umbrella of civil service operations. CCS works with both central government departments and wider public sector organizations, including local authorities, NHS trusts, and educational institutions. Its primary objective is to maximize value for money in public sector procurement through aggregated purchasing power and standardized commercial agreements. The agency manages various framework agreements and commercial solutions across categories including technology, construction, facilities management, and professional services. The organization plays a crucial role in delivering the UK government’s procurement policy objectives, including increasing SME participation in public contracts and promoting sustainable procurement practices. CCS manages approximately £18 billion of public sector spend annually through its commercial agreements. Based in Liverpool, with offices in London, Norwich, and Newport, CCS employs procurement professionals who provide expertise and support to public sector buyers across the UK. The agency operates under the Minister for the Cabinet Office and is governed by the Public Contracts Regulations 2015.
