Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) provide purchasing frameworks, dynamic purchasing systems (DPS) and procurement consultancy services for schools, academies, colleges, universities and other educational organisations.
CPC frameworks/DPS
Our purchasing agreements make procurement quicker, easier and safer as the lengthy tender process has already been done for you in compliance with the UK Public Contracts Regulations. You can get quotes from the fully-vetted suppliers by using our online quote tools and many of our frameworks are recommended by the Department for Education.
CPC procurement consultancy
If you need help running a tender or require a managed procurement service try our expert education sector procurement consultancy. Our dedicated team (previously known as Tenet Education Services) provide onsite and offsite procurement services.
A charity which invests in the education sector
Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) is the trading name of Crescent Purchasing Limited and we are a not-for-profit organisation. CPC is here to support the education sector and our income is provided by CPC suppliers via a small percentage of the value of sales to Crescent Purchasing Consortium members. The income is used to sustain and expand our range of procurement frameworks whilst providing support to our education sector members.
