Achieve efficiencies, speed up tasks and improve reliability
Automation is a powerful tool that can help take some of the pressure off humans. This is achieved through sophisticated technologies that provide processes and services with minimal human interaction.
Automation has the potential to transform public services by reducing operational running costs by up to a third. This can result in better service delivery, improved data, cost reduction, counter-fraud and increased efficiency.
With our Automation Marketplace Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), we can help you confidently and responsibly buy automation services that benefit citizens, to enable you to plan, design and implement automation into your systems and processes.
We want to support you on your journey to automation, so why not take a look at our 7 step guide below to help you along the way.

Automate your processes with CCS
Our Automation Marketplace DPS offers a range of benefits for the entire public sector.
-
Investing in the future
We understand the importance of investing in the future of your workforce. The services offered under this agreement will support the optimisation of business processes, increase skills in the workplace and help you to invest in technology.
-
Smarter buying
This agreement encourages smarter buying, from strategic design and business transformation, through to problem solving with technology solutions. If you want to buy automation services more efficiently, look no further than our DPS.
-
Supporting innovation
We support innovation and our DPS agreement lets suppliers add new services (within scope) at any time during the lifetime of the DPS. This means you can be sure you are keeping up with fast-moving technologies and developments in an emerging market.

How to buy
Use the DPS to find out which suppliers could meet your requirements. You will then need to run a mini further competition to select a supplier, as there is no option for direct award.
Did you now know that procurement cards are the most efficient way for your organisation to pay for goods and services? And, the more you use them, the more time and money you’ll save. So boost your buying power by using procurement cards for all purchases, big or small, in your organisation.
