Clarke Willmott appointed to Education Consortium Framework

National law firm Clarke Willmott has been appointed to one of the country’s leading education purchasing and procurement frameworks.

Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) has an outstanding reputation in the education sector, and provides purchasing frameworks, dynamic purchasing systems (DPS) and procurement consultancy services for schools, academies, colleges, universities and other educational organisations.

Commercial and private client litigation partner Tim Williamson led on the successful CPC tender for Clarke Willmott, which was ranked fifth out of the total 14 firms appointed to the framework. He was supported by the firm’s Bids and Tenders team and colleagues from multiple sectors and offices across the country.

Clarke Willmott’s appointment by CPC follows its appointment last year to the £45 million London Universities Purchasing Consortium (LUPC) 2025 Legal Services Framework.

“We are delighted to be appointed to the CPC panel. This tender win is great news for the firm and demonstrates the strength and breadth of our Education practice,” says Tim Williamson.

“We’ll be supporting CPC members with matters related to commercial property, planning, employment, regulatory, criminal law, commercial and litigation legal support and we look forward to developing relationships with these clients.

“Our appointment by Crescent Purchasing Consortium, following so closely on from our LUPC win, is testament to our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality legal advice and strategic support tailored to the education and public sectors.”
