VWV appointed to Crescent Purchasing Consortium legal services panel

This March, VWV has been appointed to the Crescent Purchasing Consortium (CPC) legal services panel, marking a significant step in the firm's commitment to the further education sector. 

CPC is one of the leading procurement frameworks serving the education sector, with a particular focus on further education colleges, academies and multi-academy trusts (MATs), as well as the wider public sector. Appointment to the panel enables education institutions across the country to access VWV's legal expertise through a compliant, streamlined procurement route.

The appointment reflects VWV's long-standing investment in education as a core sector. The firm acts for a wide range of education clients and has built deep expertise across the issues facing colleges, trusts and academies today, from governance and employment to property and commercial matters. 

The CPC panel win follows closely on the heels of VWV's appointment by East Kent Colleges Group, Kent's largest further education provider. This instruction, secured independently of the panel, underlines the firm's growing reputation in the FE sector.
