Bespoke
Frameworks
In addition to our existing Frameworks for financial services, CPRAS has developed the software to create innovative, bespoke frameworks to meet any of your organisation's procurement needs - removing the need for you to undertake a time-consuming and costly tender, whilst also providing you with the volume leverage of a Framework.
Case Study
Aylesbury Vale District Council came to us to make cost savings on card processing.
They shared with us their merchant account acquiring data, and within a week we sent back a cost comparison report, projecting 53% net savings – over £81,000/year, or £325,000 over a 4-year contract.
Our projections were not only accurate, but real savings actually slightly exceeded them. The first full year’s transactions from 1st July showed net savings of more than £82,400, while card turnover rose by just over £1 million compared with the previous year.
"It has been an extremely seamless process and probably one of the best change projects I have worked on."

"I have found CPRAS to be a very professional organisation and would recommend them to anyone. We were provided with a professional service at all times. CPRAS did, as promised, identify worthwhile savings. They answered all my questions quickly and honestly and were very easy to work with."

“We were initially sceptical that the projected savings identified by CPRAS via the framework would be achieved. However we have been delighted not only to achieve the savings, but actually exceed them substantially. What is of particular benefit to us is being able to confirm the precise savings being achieved each month by accessing the CPRAS MI portal which we find most helpful. We are very happy to talk with other Authorities who may be considering the exercise.”

"We were delighted to be able to achieve a cost saving of 55% against our existing tariff and agreed to switch to the framework. The whole process was very straightforward and we have found CPRAS to be very professional in their approach and would not hesitate to recommend them. It has been hugely beneficial to the company and brought significant cost savings."
