Public Sector Consultancy

The merged firm brings together two of the UK's leading public sector teams, providing our clients with the highest levels of expertise and sector knowledge, combined with creative and innovative thinking.

Working closely with Departments of State, funders, regulators, local authorities, regional government and NHS Trusts – the reputation of our public sector consultants has been built on a commitment to deliver value-for-money and bespoke solutions that recognise the unique demands of each client context.

Our clients can draw upon a compelling breadth and depth of skills in both transactional and operational areas:

  • Strategy – policy formulation, economical modelling and projections, options development and analysis.
  • Transaction support – business case development, funding strategy, concept development, procurement strategy, project management and review.
  • Financial assessments –due diligence, financial monitoring, risk assessments, sensitivity analysis.
  • Cost reduction and service transformation – achieving financial savings and customer-focused services through organisational design and re-structuring, improving procurement, better financial management, business process re-engineering and continuous improvement using Lean principles.
  • Performance management – developing effective performance management frameworks,processes and culture.
  • Mergers and re-structuring advice – financial and operational restructuring, plan development and implementation. 

Our solutions are effective because we understand the issues our clients face, the demanding culture in which they work, and the difficulties associated with implementing political and economic decisions. As such, we can often advise on the potential for unintended consequences early in the process, and help clients to get it right first time. We can also see the opportunity for challenging many perceived constraints, drawing on our wider commercial experience in the private sector.

Our preferred engagement style is open and collaborative, but we regularly encourage clients to move out of their comfort zone and confront the key issues. As such, we remain a respected ‘critical friend’ to many of our current and past clients.
