The Government Procurement Service (GPS) was an executive agency of the Cabinet Office. Its overall priority was to provide procurement savings for the UK public sector as a whole and specifically to deliver centralised procurement for central government departments.
The GPS was originally created as the Buying Agency on 1 April 1991. On 1 April 2000, it became part of the newly established Office of Government Commerce (OGC) within HM Treasury. On 1 April 2001, the Buying Agency, the Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency, Property Advisors to the Civil Estate and other units from the Treasury merged to form OGCbuying.solutions. The agency's name was changed to just Buying Solutions in April 2009. On 15 June 2010, it moved, along with its parent agency the OGC, to become part of the Efficiency and Reform Group within the Cabinet Office.
In July 2011, its name was changed to the Government Procurement Service.
In January 2014 the GPS merged with the procurement management from government departments to form the Crown Commercial Service (CCS).
