Cirrus Purchasing maintain an extensive database of current market costs, which we use to test the value for money achieved by our clients.
This approach does not simply reduce the price paid for the products and services your organisation purchases, but challenges the assumptions underpinning the requirement. This can result in cost avoidance, rather than cost reduction, which can yield an immediate and higher % saving for your organisation.
A different approach to business improvement consultancy: A Cascade Review is a procurement, efficiency and viability review of one or more contractors and suppliers to a public sector organisation. The Cirrus team review the 1st and 2nd tier supply chain to generate shared benefits and savings that cascade through to the public sector organisation itself.

Cirrus Consortium frameworks provide quick, easy and EU compliant access to a range of products and services.
The resulting frameworks are available for use by all contracting authorities (as defined by Regulation 3 of the UK statutory instrument Public Contracts Regulations 2006/5), but particularly Registered Providers of Social Housing, local authorities, ALMOs (Arms Length Management Organisations) and NHS Trusts.
Every contracting authority that uses a Cirrus Consortium framework agreement qualifies for free membership to the consortium. This allows the member organisations to have an active input to the frameworks under the consortium, while retaining the ability to use framework suppliers and service providers autonomously.
Recognised experts in EU Public Procurement legislation, we provide practical and realistic guidance on the regulations and legislation affecting procurement in the housing and public sector.
Bespoke training to address specific procurement learning requirements can be provided on request. For more details contact either Mike Barnett at
