We have delivered at the heart of government, accountable for billions of pounds of public money. We bring that same discipline to public bodies that need major programmes delivered properly and defensibly.
Book a confidential conversationIn government the programme has to land and it has to withstand scrutiny afterwards: audit, committees, the public.
We have worked to that bar, accountable for making sure taxpayer money on the Energy Bills Support Scheme was spent properly and not lost to the companies disbursing it.
Leading or recovering large public programmes to time, budget and scope.
Independent assurance and the controls that protect public funds and stand up to audit.
Finance, billing and settlement systems and the migrations behind them, at national scale.
We are vendor independent, so public bodies get advice with no product to sell. We hold an ESG qualification from the University of Oxford and have worked alongside EY and Deloitte on major programmes.
Public sector digital transformation carries everything a private programme does plus procurement rules, spending controls, service standards and the duty to explain every pound. We help central government bodies, arm's length bodies and local government design the programme, run the procurement, hold the suppliers to account and build the evidence trail that assurance reviews and audit will ask for. For local government consultancy the brief is usually smaller and sharper: a system replacement, a shared service or a scheme that has to launch on a date set by someone else.
Standing up a state owned company is a transfer of systems, data and public money, and the first year decides whether it is trusted in its third. We work with the departments and public bodies doing it, from operating model and governance to procurement and funds control.

Yes. We have twenty years of working with regulators and the organisations they oversee.
Up to the largest. We have led programmes worth billions across five continents.
A public sector consultant helps government bodies plan, deliver and assure major programmes: business cases, procurement, delivery leadership and independent assurance, within the controls and scrutiny that public money requires.
We are smaller and senior led. You get people who have delivered major public programmes themselves, without the leverage model of the large firms, and with the same people from the first meeting to delivery.
Tell us about the programme and we will tell you honestly how we would deliver or assure it to the standard public work demands. No obligation.
