Previously known as Tenet Procurement Services, Crescent Services is a subsidiary of CPC that offers a number of our compliant procurement frameworks to the wider public and private sectors, accruing further funds to support our Giving Back objectives.
In Episode 3 of No Ordinary Day in Procurement, Sharia reveals how Giving Back helps give his work extra purpose, as well as highlighting our Multifunctional Devices and Associated Products & Services framework and MFDs specialist, Kath Johnson.
