Crescent Purchasing Ltd (CPC) is a charity owned by the education sector and whose membership is made up of 8,200+ educational establishments from across the United Kingdom.
Membership to all educational establishments is free and any resulting offering through this process will be made available to all members, current and future. Any such agreement may also be available to the wider public sector, although the primary focus will be on education. CPC membership is increasing on a daily basis, and as such we are unable to provide at this stage a definitive end customer or customers. A list of all current CPC members are available on the following webpage:

Future members of the CPC will be from the education sector, with details available here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/get-information-about-schools
CPC Members are under no obligation to utilise any of the 73 CPC agreements (correct as of 13/09/2021) so there is no guarantee of any business through any system resulting from this process, nor are CPC under any obligation to create such a system if we deem that it is not going to be beneficial to the education market.
