Case study

Warwickshire Police

Banking & Finance

30% net savings, contract live in 7 weeks.

Warwickshire Police recently reached out through our website about reviewing their banking contract. Their CPRAS Account Manager responded within a day and achieved an outstanding result with their existing supplier.

In just seven weeks from us contacting CPRAS, we have secured a new, fully compliant banking contract delivering 30% net savings. Our CPRAS Account Manager coordinated the entire process, reducing internal pressures, and negotiated better rates than we’d been advised were possible. We would thoroughly recommend their hands-on service to other Police forces looking to make significant savings.
