Crown Commercial Service Frameworks


For public sector organisations, CCS Frameworks are an easy-to-use option for purchasing from CitySprint.


The Crown Commercial Service is the biggest public sector procurement organisation in the UK and helps to simplify the buying process for all public sector buyers. That's why we're excited to have been awarded a position on two frameworks: Courier and Specialist Movements with the addition of Storage, Distribution, Kitting and Associated Services.
