Crown Commercial Service

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is the largest public sector procurement organisation in the UK,  managing frameworks with procurements of around £12 billion spend each year. In 2018-2019, CCS and Electronics Watch collaborated on a project to analyse, detect and mitigate the risk of modern slavery in the hardware supply chain through resellers and hardware suppliers. Now, as an affiliate to Electronics Watch, this work will be rolled out to other technology framework agreements with a risk of modern slavery.

"Crown Commercial Service is passionate about supply chain transparency and integrity and committed to supporting customers in eliminating Modern Slavery within their supply chains. Working with an independent monitoring organisation will support collaboration with other domestic and foreign public sector buyers and enable a greater depth of insight than can be achieved alone. Electronics Watch shares our mission and values and we look forward to working with them." - Andrew Gowanlock, Commercial Lead - Technology Products/Services, CCS
