About CBC

The Central Buying Consortium is the largest local authority purchasing consortium in the UK. It has seventeen local authority members, having grown from just six members when it was formed in 1991, and now represents most of the major authorities from the Midlands to the South East, outside London. The organisation exists to maximise the value to its members of the products which they purchase. We achieve this by working with each other and with suppliers to reduce the variety of products and services and to consolidate the amount purchased by the member authorities.
