Bourton Group Joins Crown Commercial Service’s Low Value Purchase System
Bourton Group LLP has been officially accepted onto the Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) Low Value Purchase System (LVPS), marking a significant milestone in the consultancy’s commitment to supporting public sector services transformation.
The LVPS is a dynamic purchasing system designed to streamline procurement for low-value goods and services across the UK public sector. Read the full benefits here.
It aims to provide a flexible and compliant route to market, allowing public bodies to engage suppliers through direct award or mini-competition without needing to advertise on Contracts Finder. This system is particularly supportive of SMEs, aligning with the government’s policy to increase SME participation in public procurement.
With its inclusion in the LVPS, Bourton Group’s operational and Lean improvement consultancy services become more accessible to public sector organisations seeking to enhance efficiency, reduce waste, and drive sustainable change. This development simplifies the procurement process for clients, enabling them to benefit from Bourton Group’s expertise through a streamlined and compliant framework.
Bourton Group expressed enthusiasm about this opportunity, stating:

This marks a significant milestone for us, and we are excited about its implications for organizations looking to enhance their operations.
Our work has supported public sector organisations to drive improvements in service delivery whilst reducing operational costs. Working with reducing budgets or refocusing services, we have enabled clients to become more efficient whilst building a culture of continuous improvement.
