A Stockport college utilised Crescent Purchasing Consortium’s Waste Management framework to make over £5k of savings.
Aquinas College in Stockport, Greater Manchester have been members of CPC since March 2007 and their Head of Estates and Facilities, Chris Green, recently made use of this compliant purchasing framework to procure a waste management contract.
Chris said, “It’s always easy to use the CPC Quote Tool. I use it regularly whenever I’m running procurement activities and it’s much easier than going out to find relevant organisations and manually asking to quote. The CPC tool does all the work for you. It is also easy to get a quick response; set a deadline to ensure the procurement pipeline is seamless".
Some of the multiple benefits of using the CPC Waste Management Services framework are as follows:
• Designed to encourage suppliers to implement sustainability best practice.
• Split into Lots, so you can appoint specific to your waste stream needs.
• Sustainability built into the procurement process and specification.
• Inclusion of localised suppliers who do not have national coverage.
• Compliant with the relevant UK Public Contracts Regulations.
Chris added, "It’s always much more efficient when the CPC have tendered a framework and completed due diligence.
"It’s a great seamless experience, I would definitely use again".
