What Is The CCS Framework?

The Crown Commercial Service framework connects public sector organisations with trusted suppliers, offering services that meet strict standards for quality, compliance, and value.

For vehicle hire, the CCS Vehicle Hire Solutions framework ensures that public sector clients can access a wide range of vehicles at competitive, pre-negotiated rates, while simplifying the procurement process.

Crown Commercial Service supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services.

In 2019/20, CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits worth over £1bn - supporting world-class public services that offer best value for taxpayers.
