About CPC

Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) is the only Purchasing Consortium exclusively owned by the FE sector operating within education. We provide our members with specialist advice on best procurement practices and how to obtain best value for money.

Our main purpose is to produce EU compliant frameworks which cover a wide variety of goods and services. Our aim is to continue to develop this portfolio in line with our members' needs.

We harness the collective spending power of our members to drive down costs from our suppliers, meaning that we can deliver savings that couldn't be obtained by members in isolation.

Working collaboratively with our procurement services provider, Tenet Education Services Ltd, we have enhanced our service offer to provide an end to end procurement solution to our members. Our collaboration is unique within the education sector offering all employees the opportunity to work within an exciting sector as part of a growing business.
