Introducing the Crown Commercial Service
We’re one of the biggest public procurement organisations in Europe.
We help organisations across the whole of the public sector find the right
commercial solutions for around £12 billion of spend on common goods and
services each year.
We lead on developing and implementing the UK’s public sector procurement
policy and delivering government’s commercial policy priorities.
We’re an executive agency of the Cabinet Office and part of the Government
Commercial Function.
