Summary

The Crown Commercial Service updated its supplier guidance, providing details on monthly management information (MI) submission requirements via the online portal, annual supplier audit programmes, and self-audit certificate obligations. The page reflects multiple URN list updates throughout 2025 and 2026, with the most recent update on 20 April 2026.

“All CCS suppliers need to complete MI submissions on a monthly basis for any agreements they are listed on as a supplier.”

CCS , verbatim from source
Why this matters

Suppliers who have not recently reviewed their MI reporting processes against CCS requirements should do so now — the annual self-audit certificate obligation requires an affirmative confirmation of robust systems, and the audit programme applies a risk-based methodology across all framework suppliers. Any supplier with agreements approaching expiry should monitor the CCS procurement pipeline for retendering opportunities.

What changed

The updated CCS supplier guidance restates existing obligations for monthly MI submissions via the online portal at https://www.reportmi.crowncommercial.gov.uk/ and annual supplier audits reviewing MI accuracy, payment timeliness, financial reporting terms, and customer charging. Suppliers are required to provide an annual self-audit certificate confirming their systems can identify, record and report accurate and complete management information.

Suppliers on CCS commercial agreements should ensure their MI reporting processes and systems are current and auditable. The guidance confirms CCS operates a risk-based annual audit programme and expects supplier compliance with the Bribery Act 2010. Suppliers whose agreements are expiring should note contracts are not renewed automatically and must retender for places on replacement agreements.

What to do next

  1. Complete MI submissions on a monthly basis using the online web portal
  2. Submit annual self-audit certificate confirming robust systems to identify, record and report accurate and complete MI
  3. If doing business with a customer not on the URN list, submit a request to CCS to have them added

Guidance

Current Crown Commercial Service suppliers: what you need to know

Guide for suppliers on a Crown Commercial Service (CCS) commercial agreement, who supply common goods and services to the public sector.

Submitting monthly management information

CCS management information (MI) submissions are a record of business contracted to or invoiced by suppliers on CCS commercial agreements.

All CCS suppliers need to complete MI submissions on a monthly basis for any agreements they are listed on as a supplier. Submissions are made using an online web portal.

Report management information to CCS

Guides for the process:

Customer Unique Reference Number (URN) list

When completing an MI submission, you need to include the URN for your public sector customer.

You can download the latest customer URN list

If you are doing business with a customer who is not on the URN list, submit a request to CCS to have them added. Complete the Add organisation request form (ODS, 10.4 KB) form and email to supplier@crowncommercial.gov.uk

Suppliers and customers must both check that the customer can use the agreement they have selected to buy products or services from. Only the customers listed in the customer list for an agreement are eligible to use it. Eligible customers are listed in the contract notice for the agreement.

We will not check a customer’s eligibility to use our agreements when we add them to the customer URN list. The URN list is not a list of customers who are approved to use CCS agreements.

Audit and assurance

An annual supplier audit programme is carried out to provide assurance to the CCS board and the national audit office (NAO). The strategy is agreed in conjunction with the NAO and a risk based methodology is applied to identify suppliers to include in the annual audit plan.

This programme reviews:

  • the accuracy, appropriateness and completeness of management information returns made in relation to framework business
  • the timely and accurate payment of any CCS invoices
  • that financial reporting framework terms and conditions are met
  • the appropriate and accurate charging of customers making purchases under framework agreements As a CCS supplier, your organisation is also required to provide an annual self-audit certificate confirming that you have robust systems in place to identify, record and report accurate and complete MI.

Promoting your place on a CCS agreement

Suppliers are encouraged to promote the fact that their goods and services are available through a CCS agreement to prospective public sector customers. To request a copy of the supplier marketing toolkit which includes logos and guidance please contact your CCS agreement manager or email supplier@crowncommercial.gov.uk

Supplier management

CCS manages suppliers on framework agreements.

There is a commercial agreement manager (CAM) for each agreement who can help you with any questions you have. Email info@crowncommercial.gov.uk if you are unsure who your CAM is.

A network of Crown Representatives also helps ensure the government is getting the best value for taxpayers from its contracts with strategically important suppliers.

Expiring agreements

When an agreement expires, buyers can no longer buy your products or services on that agreement. If you have an existing contract with a buyer that goes beyond the agreement expiry date you can still fulfil that contract, and you need to continue to submit MI while applicable.

When the CCS agreement you are on is expiring or being replaced you will need to retender for a place on the new agreement. Contracts are not renewed automatically.

You can see tender opportunities for upcoming deals on the CCS procurement pipeline

Improving public procurement practice

CCS operates a Public Procurement Review Service scheme providing a direct route for suppliers to raise concerns about poor public procurement practice.

Bribery Act 2010

CCS expects its suppliers to put appropriate controls and procedures in place to ensure compliance with the Bribery Act 2010

Government Security Classifications Scheme

A new Government Security Classifications scheme was introduced in April 2014 making it simpler to classify government documents.

If you have any general enquiries please contact the Cabinet Office policy team at classifications@cabinet-office.x.gsi.gov.uk
