We have been operating as a procurement consultancy since 1994, initially servicing the education sector and in 2016 Crescent Services (previously called Tenet Procurement Services) was specifically set up to offer our excellent services to wider public sector and private sector customers.
Crescent Services works in compliance with the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 (PCR 2015) to fulfil public sector organisation’s procurement requirements. Although private sector organisations are not governed by the same legislation, conducting a structured and robust tender process will achieve an effective result.
Crescent Services is part of Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC).
Crescent provide three main areas of support for our customers:
Managed Procurement Services
Providing weekly onsite or remote support from a procurement consultant to help you achieve value for money and maximise quality in all aspects of procurement, including tendering, spend analysis, compliance with regulations and much more. Contracts can be from 1 day per week up to 5 days per week and are usually in place for 3 years. Many of our Managed Service clients have renewed multiple times.
On Demand Tendering Service
An offsite service providing you with an alternative to running a tender yourself, a tendering service for single or multiple contracts, our team of procurement consultants manage the complete tender process efficiently saving you time and money. The On Demand Service boasts of hundreds of repeat customers.
Frameworks
All of our frameworks are supplied via Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) and although originally developed for the education sector, these frameworks are open to be used by the wider public sector. The frameworks are designed to be easy to use and have a fully comprehensive framework user-guide that helps you to conduct your procurement process in the knowledge that it is compliant with procurement regulations.
