How we can help you
Today, more than ever, procurement has a vital role to play in supporting and strengthening our public sector and we know that for all organisations within the social housing sector, tight control over budgets and resources is a key priority.
You can use our commercial solutions free of charge, and we’re committed to helping you achieve the best possible value and generate cashable savings for your organisation by leveraging our category expertise and national buying power. We recognise the importance of social value for your residents and communities and are putting in place the deals and support to allow you to place this at the heart of your procurement.
We want to empower you to get the best possible value from your procurement and join the growing number of housing associations who are making great savings with CCS every year.
