Charities

Procurement has a vital role to play in supporting and strengthening our third sector. We want to help you save time and money when buying business goods and services, so that you can focus on making a real difference.

You can use our commercial solutions free of charge, and we’re committed to helping you achieve maximum value by leveraging our commercial expertise and national buying power.

Whether you’re a procurement manager responsible for buying office supplies, an IT manager responsible for upgrading your networks and equipment, or a finance manager looking to improve your payment processes, our aim is to get to know you and your specific needs.

We want to empower you to get the best value from your procurement and join the growing number of charities making great savings with Crown Commercial Service (CCS).
