Crown Commercial Service (CCS)
Councils are currently using Crown Commercial Service frameworks for procuring social care systems, adult skills courses, and IT services.
Lewisham Council is procuring a new social care case management system through the Crown Commercial Service (CCS) framework, a decision made in September 2026. This follows Hackney Council's agreement in May 2026 to use the CCS Adult Learning Dynamic Purchasing System for adult skills courses for the 2026/2027 academic year, as a temporary measure.
Separately, Haringey Council approved a £5.4 million deal for Microsoft digital services in March 2026, procured via a CCS framework. The Crown Commercial Service is the UK government's central purchasing body, providing procurement services to public sector organisations. No upcoming meetings specifically mention the Crown Commercial Service on their agendas.
