Crown Commercial Services launch SME Customer Engagement Survey

The organisation says that collective purchasing power of CCS customers, combined with CCS procurement knowledge, allows CCS to provide the commercial deals providing significant savings and benefit in the interests of UK taxpayers.

In line with the 2018 GOV UK SME Action Plan, CCS is supporting the government objective to have a 33% spend of the UK Government supply chain contracted with SMEs by 2022. 

CCS is currently in the process of enhancing user experience and accessibility, introducing a number of new processes.

As part of the CCS objective to support and encourage SME access to public procurement opportunities, CCS aims to provide a series of services which will assist SME businesses/organisations. 

Aiming to ensure the services and enhancements which CCS plans to provide reflect the needs of the SME community, CCS is entering into a series of engagements with the SME community. 

The first of these engagements is a short 20 question SME Engagement Survey concentrating on the areas of market access, registration and PPQ/SQ submission.  It is estimated that the survey should take no more than 30 mins to complete.  Any assistance that members of the SME community can provide by the way of completion of this survey would be greatly appreciated by the CCS.
