Crescent Purchasing Consortium
SPONSORING THE SEN PROVISION AWARD
Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) is a one-stop procurement shop, with a mission of being the procurement partner of choice for the education sector. A 10,000+ strong member community, CPC helps educational institutions purchase products and services, while opening avenues for potential cost savings through supplier competition and collective buying power.
It is FREE to become a member of CPC, with a host of added benefits. These include 80+ purchasing frameworks, with 15 recommended by the DfE, helping institutions make smarter purchases when procuring a wide range of goods and services.
Meanwhile, if you need help running a tender or a managed procurement service, Crescent Consultancy is here to assist, providing on-site and off-site procurement services.
Furthermore, by using CPC, you are helping support the education sector, as surpluses are reinvested via our 'Giving Back' initiative, which has designated £1.56 million to projects around the UK.
Our objective is to advance education and research in procurement within the education sector. Crescent Learning offers a range of FREE funded training courses, resources and guidance for CPC members!
With Procurement Act 2023 heralding the biggest changes in public procurement for a generation, there has never been a better time to talk to CPC.
