Housing associations
CCS connects public and private sectors to achieve the best commercial and procurement outcomes for the UK and its citizens. We are the UK’s central commercial and procurement organisation. We guide public sector buying decisions, using our scale and commercial expertise to achieve the best value for communities across the country.
Our people create innovative solutions to social housing procurement challenges, working to ensure housing providers and local authorities can provide quality, affordable homes. This strengthens local economies and communities, supports the government’s mission to deliver 1.5 million new homes, and helps address the housing crisis affecting families across the UK. We call this value for the nation.
