Commercial and procurement support for the public sector

Procurement, programme and commercial expertise for public bodies and the organisations that supply them.

In short

Public sector commercial work runs on rules, evidence and timetable. The difficulty is rarely knowing that a process is needed. It is having the capacity and the specialist experience to run it well while the day job continues.

What organisations here usually need help with

  • Major procurements with fixed timetables and limited internal resource
  • Contract management that stops once the contract is signed
  • Programmes that have slipped and need an honest reset
  • Savings targets that arrive without a plan attached
  • Suppliers who understand the rules better than the buyer does
