- Register as an Additional Client with CCS by completing the registration document (available to download in our documents tab below) and return the document by email to CCS. There is no joining fee and no commitment, even after registering.
- Once this has been completed you can then access supplier alliance member rates. If you wish to run a procurement you will also need to complete an Additional Client User Agreement (ACUA) form (in the documents section below) and return the document by email to CCS.
- CCS will issue a unique reference number on receipt of this form for your project or programme of works. This number must be referenced and included on all correspondence and communication with supplier alliance members.
