- Who we help
As the go-to public sector procurement consultancy, we have over 20 years of specialist procurement and supply chain management experience over a broad range of projects.
By leveraging our digital capability, sophisticated operating model designs and advanced data analytics, we optimise supply chain logistics and commercial processes for organisations across the public sector. Taking a hands-on approach to projects, we partner with you to cut costs, reduce risk, and maintain these wins in the long term.
Our involvement in public sector procurement and supply chain projects extends from the NHS’s COVID-19 vaccine programme, through developing supply chain security for the Ministry of Defence, to Local Government procurement transformations and supporting the execution of Central Government procurement strategies.
A deep understanding of public sector-specific challenges and regulations underpins our work, including the UK’s new Procurement Act, in which our expertise and proven Strategic Supplier Relationship Management (SSRM) methodology will be vital to meet the new standards.
Despite facing significant challenges, public sector organisations must continue delivering uncompromising quality and effectiveness with minimal resources – the strength of their procurement and supply chain functions will make all the difference.
