Extending our reach beyond education, Crescent Purchasing Consortium is delighted to welcome its sister brand Crescent Services to its one-stop procurement website, creating a smoother user experience for various members and customers.
Crescent Services offers a range of purchasing frameworks and procurement services to the wider UK public (non-education) sector. Through this, institutions like public libraries, local government organisations, blue light services, housing associations, museums, galleries and the NHS are able to not only tackle their procurement predicaments with a greater confidence, but also support CPC’s Giving Back charity endeavours, fuelling recurring reinvestment, to the benefit of many young learners.
The addition of Crescent Services to the main CPC website is the next stage of a process which began back in August 2024, when Tenet Procurement Services (TPS) was rebranded as Crescent Services. The change brought the brand’s identity in line with CPC, after Crescent Purchasing Consortium had itself rebranded and merged with subsidiaries, the CPL Group and Tenet Education Services, in April of that year. Retaining the colours of TPS, Crescent Services would also adopt CPC's crescent motif.
Today, as CPC continues to go from strength to strength, we are pleased members of Crescent Services will be able to benefit from the same improved website functionality and ease of use as CPC members, with all tools accessible in one same location.
So, what’s changing?
In short, nothing will change regarding the frameworks and services Crescent Services customers receive. It’s simply that the Crescent Services web presence and functionality has been improved and incorporated into CPC’s own state-of-the-art site.
From today, Crescent Services can be accessed either via the portal on the CPC homepage or within the ‘Our Services’ menu.
Need some support?
If you work in the wider public sector and need free access to compliant purchasing frameworks or procurement consultancy services, be it a swift, one-off tender or long-term help and guidance, our experienced team of purchasing experts can assist.
Another added benefit Crescent Services customers receive, free of charge, is access to dedicated Procurement Engagement Advisor, Sharia Rahman, who is here to help navigate your procurement journey. Call 07467 483 184 to find out more today.
