Membership
We bridge the gap between strategic thinking and operational delivery, providing fully managed procurement, expert account management, dedicated supply chain liaison and commercial support.
Membership of CHIC is free and available for any public sector body. Over 200 organisations are already members, primarily housing associations and local authorities, but also members from the health and education sectors.
Once you become a member of CHIC, you will be assigned a membership services representative to help you along your procurement journey. There are no obligations to use CHIC’s services once you become a member, but the more you use our suite of solutions, the more you save.
