What are CCS Frameworks?

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

In 2023/24, CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits worth over £4.9 billion - supporting world-class public services that offer best value for taxpayers.

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

For vehicle hire, CCS's 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.
