John Pye Appointed to Crown Commercial Service Framework for Asset Recovery and Disposal

National auction house John Pye & Sons Limited has been appointed as a supplier on two lots of the Crown Commercial Service’s (CCS) RM6354 Courier, Distribution, Storage and Specialist Solutions framework.

The company has secured positions on Lot 4b – Managed Service for Recycling and Disposal and Lot 4c – Managed Service for Asset Recovery. Through these appointments, the John Pye Auctions team will deliver valuation and auction services to support the remarketing, recycling and disposal of a wide range of public sector assets.

Assets covered under the framework include vehicles, plant, machinery, IT equipment and medical equipment. The agreement also covers the sale of items confiscated under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA), including luxury watches, handbags and artwork.

The RM6354 Courier, Distribution, Storage and Specialist Solutions framework provides public sector organisations with resale and auction services. It replaces the previous RM6171 Courier and Specialist Movements framework, on which John Pye was also an appointed supplier.

With more than 50 years of industry experience, John Pye delivers thousands of online auctions each year through its network of 20 UK sites and an international hub in Spain.

Crown Commercial Service works with the public sector to secure strong commercial and procurement outcomes when sourcing common goods and services. In the 2024/2025 financial year, CCS customers achieved commercial benefits worth more than £5.3 billion compared to current market comparators.

Addison Pye, Director at John Pye, said:

“We are really pleased to be appointed to this public sector framework, providing continuity of supply for valuation and auction services. As a leading provider of fully managed auction and asset recovery services nationwide, we’re proud to support public sector organisations with resale and auctioning solutions that help deliver best value for money for taxpayers.”
