Government Procurement Service

Sellick Partnership are delighted to be a Goverment Procurement Service recognised supplier for temporary staff to NHS and other public sector bodies.

Government Procurement Service (formerly Buying Solutions) is the national procurement partner for all UK public services and is an executive agency of the Cabinet Office.

It was established in 2001 as a result of the Gershon Report, through a merger of the procurement functions of the Buying Agency and CCTA.

The role of Government Procurement Service is to maximise the value for money obtained by Government departments and other public bodies through the procurement and supply of goods and services. The procurement arrangements we establish allow public sector organisations to save time and money. These cover a range of areas such as ICT, Energy, Travel, Fleet, Office Solutions, Property Solutions and Professional Services.

Government Procurement Service is a Trading Fund which is run on commercial lines. It generates income to cover its costs and operates at no cost to the taxpayer.

Government Procurement Service is the largest of over 40 Professional Buying Organisations (PBO) in the wider public sector. As the only PBO with a legal remit to trade across the whole of UK public services, Government Procurement Service is the smart choice for public sector procurement, enabling organisations to deliver improved value for money and efficiency. It facilitates the buying process in a vast and highly complex marketplace, providing access to over 500,000 products and services through more than 1,500 suppliers. The diverse customer base spans the biggest central government departments, NHS Trusts and local councils, through to the smallest schools.
