What you can expect at each stage
Five steps, the same on every engagement, whether you are buying, selling or partnering with us.
The five steps
Understand
What needs deciding, what evidence exists and who owns it.
Agree
Scope, outputs, acceptance and timescale, in writing before work starts.
Deliver
A named lead runs the work, adding specialists only where needed, with short written updates at an agreed rhythm.
Check
A second senior practitioner reviews every client deliverable before it reaches you.
Two senior views on every deliverableHand over
Documents, templates and contract records stay with your team when we finish.
Our standards
- Outcomes before headcount. We add people only when the work needs them.
- One straight answer. We tell you what we think, including when it is not what you hoped to hear.
- Fact, judgement, assumption. Every report shows which is which.
- Two senior views. Each engagement has a named lead, and every client deliverable is reviewed by a second senior practitioner before it reaches you.
- No conflicts. We never act for a buyer and a supplier on the same competition or contract. We check before we accept any work, and tell you if we cannot act.
Pricing
Pricing is indicative until the work is scoped. We give you an indicative range first, then confirm the fee in writing once scope, outputs and timescale are agreed. Our day rates are benchmarked against comparable consultancies.
Credentials and social value
We hold Good Business Charter accreditation and Cyber Essentials certification. We are Disability Confident Committed, a Supply Chain Sustainability School Bronze member and an Armed Forces Covenant signatory. Our Covenant commitments.
