Crown Commercial Service has announced that it has appointed a new Chief Executive, to take over in the summer.
With current Chief Executive Simon Tse retiring, the organisation has appointed Sam Ulyatt as his replacement. Sam’s previous experience includes time as the Commercial Director for Buildings within the CCS, before she went on to become the Chief Commercial Officer at the Home Office.
Commenting on her appointment, Sam said:
“I am delighted to have the opportunity to come back to Crown Commercial Service as Chief Executive. We will, together, continue the great work across the public sector by adding value to the critical services we support and enabling better outcomes for the UK. I commit to shape and lead the organisation by listening, respecting, collaborating and trusting. Key to this is connecting with the whole of the public sector and providing direction in which we all commit to delvier for stakeholders.”
Sam will begin her new role on the 8th July, allowing for a handover period, before Simon retires. Outgoing Chief Executive Simon Tse added:
“First of all, I’d like to offer my sincere congratulations to Sam on her appointment as the new CCS Chief Executive. I’m really pleased to be handing the baton to someone who knows, and is passionate about, CCS and will continue to live the values of the organisation. I know she will be committed to driving value for our customers and ensuring that the CCS values of Listen, Respect, Collaborate and Trust are embedded throughout the organisation. With the new Procurement Regulations coming later this year, I have all faith in Sam’s ability to lead CCS at such an exciting time.”
