We want to change that and we\u2019d like to find out what people need and want by talking to those who actually do the buying.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re particularly interested in speaking to people who aren\u2019t procurement professionals but have to buy things as part of their role. For instance, you might be a teacher who buys materials for a classroom activity, or work in the PR department of local government and buy posters or leaflets to distribute. Or maybe you\u2019re an administrator who gets asked to buy things for your boss, office or organisation. And if you don\u2019t currently use <abbr title=\"Crown Commercial Service\">CCS<\/abbr>, or have never even heard of us, that\u2019s even better.<\/p>\n<p>By sharing your thoughts, frustrations, ideas and feedback, you\u2019ll help us design and deliver a service that makes it easier and quicker for you to to buy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"call-to-action\">\n<p>We\u2019d like to know what you do, how you purchase things at the moment, what works and what doesn\u2019t. It won\u2019t take long &#8211; just a 30 minute call. It\u2019s completely confidential, and you won\u2019t have to talk about anything you don\u2019t want to. So, if you have to buy things as part of your role, or know someone who does, then we\u2019d love to hear from you. Please drop us an email or call on 07703 841151.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We want to make it as easy as possible for you to buy from us.
