Commercial agreements that give you the power to optimise your finances
As part of the public sector ourselves, we understand how with resources squeezed like never before, it’s critical to ensure we get the most out of every pound.
That’s why we’ve used our national buying power and industry knowledge to develop commercial agreements that not only service financial needs like insurance but actively generate or recoup funds, like Supplier Early Repayment Solutions (SEPS) and Spend Analysis and Recovery Services (SARS).
These tools can not only help maximise funding for your frontline activities, but you can rest assured that when you buy from CCS, you are adhering to the latest procurement regulations and our suppliers have been robustly checked.

Just some of our financial services agreements...
Here’s a selection of the financial services agreements we’ve created to help you get the most from every pound your organisation spends. To find out more about all of our agreements, click here.
-
Payment Solutions
Procurement cards can save an organisation time and money, offer increased financial control and strengthen your supply chain. Whatever you’re buying – stationery or energy, laptops or training – buy with a card and enjoy the benefits.
-
Spend Analysis and Recovery Services (SARS)
An increasing number of organisations are turning to SARS to recover funds lost through historical incorrect charges or double invoicing – money that can be put to good use on your frontline.
-
Supplier Early Payment Solutions (SEPS)
Both you and your suppliers can benefit from early payment – discounts for you and better liquidity for them. Find out more about our range of services, including our unique Dynamic Discounting System.
Making the most of every purchase
There are many reasons why utilising procurement cards can help you to save money – whether your organisation is a government department, a local authority, school, or a hospital trust.

Let's get started
From commercial agreements that service your financial needs through to ones that actively recoup funds, we’re by your side to help you to get the most of every pound.
