Marr Procurement is proud to be the care sector specialist; we have worked alongside companies in the sector for over seven years and completed more than two hundred projects.
A core foundation of our relationships within the sector is the close working partnerships with various associations. These associations, such as Care England, the National Care Forum (NCF) and the Voluntary Organisations Disability Group (VODG), work tirelessly to support and champion on behalf of their members.
