Crown Commercial Service & YPO Framework

<h2><strong>Crown Commercial Service</strong></h2>

&nbsp;

​

Advanced-KFS Ltd (AKFS) are pleased to announce that during 2019 we completed the required documentation for 2 major Framework Agreements, Crown Commercial Service Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Vehicle Conversion (RM3814) and YPO - 000960 Purchase, Hire and Lease of Specialist Vehicles and Associated Services and have met the required criteria and have been accepted on both CCS and YPO frameworks.

​

Crown Commercial Service is the biggest procurement organisation in the UK, offering an ESourcing platform, and uses its commercial expertise to help buyers in central government and across the public and third sectors to purchase everything including specialist vehicles. The CSS provides an important role helping the UK public service save money when buying common goods and services in the interests of the taxpayers. This opens the ordering of AKFS specialist vehicle conversion to all the organisations who order specialist vehicle through the CCS Framework.
