Guide for suppliers on a Crown Commercial Service (CCS) commercial agreement, who supply common goods and services to the public sector.
CCS management information (MI) submissions are a record of business contracted to or invoiced by suppliers on CCS commercial agreements.
All CCS suppliers need to complete MI submissions on a monthly basis for any agreements they are listed on as a supplier. Submissions are made using an online web portal.
Report management information to CCS
If you need help submitting your MI, contact report-mi@crowncommercial.gov.uk
When completing an MI submission, you need to include the URN for your public sector customer.
You can download the latest customer URN list
If you are doing business with a customer who is not on the URN list, submit a request to CCS to have them added. Complete the form and email to supplier@crowncommercial.gov.uk
Suppliers and customers must both check that the customer can use the agreement they have selected to buy products or services from. Only the customers listed in the customer list for an agreement are eligible to use it. Eligible customers are listed in the contract notice for the agreement.
We will not check a customer’s eligibility to use our agreements when we add them to the customer URN list. The URN list is not a list of customers who are approved to use CCS agreements.
An annual supplier audit programme is carried out to provide assurance to the CCS board and the national audit office (NAO). The strategy is agreed in conjunction with the NAO and a risk based methodology is applied to identify suppliers to include in the annual audit plan.
This programme reviews:
As a CCS supplier, your organisation is also required to provide an annual self-audit certificate confirming that you have robust systems in place to identify, record and report accurate and complete MI.
Suppliers are encouraged to promote the fact that their goods and services are available through a CCS agreement to prospective public sector customers. To request a copy of the supplier marketing toolkit which includes logos and guidance please contact your CCS agreement manager or email supplier@crowncommercial.gov.uk
CCS manages suppliers on framework agreements.
There is a commercial agreement manager (CAM) for each agreement who can help you with any questions you have. Email info@crowncommercial.gov.uk if you are unsure who your CAM is.
A network of Crown Representatives also helps ensure the government is getting the best value for taxpayers from its contracts with strategically important suppliers.
When an agreement expires, buyers can no longer buy your products or services on that agreement. If you have an existing contract with a buyer that goes beyond the agreement expiry date you can still fulfil that contract, and you need to continue to submit MI while applicable.
When the CCS agreement you are on is expiring or being replaced you will need to retender for a place on the new agreement. Contracts are not renewed automatically.
You can see tender opportunities for upcoming deals on the CCS procurement pipeline
CCS operates a Public Procurement Review Service scheme providing a direct route for suppliers to raise concerns about poor public procurement practice.
CCS expects its suppliers to put appropriate controls and procedures in place to ensure compliance with the Bribery Act 2010
A new Government Security Classifications scheme was introduced in April 2014 making it simpler to classify government documents.
