Managing Consultancy and Professional Services - 1141

Consultancy plus logo

This is the third iteration of YPO's consultancy framework providing access to a single provider to deliver the needs of all public sector organisations when procuring consultancy and professional services. Through a simple direct award process, the framework offers access to specialist procurement expertise, an extensive supply chain that is actively managed and vetted and delivers value for money through a time- and cost-effective solution.

 

The solution delivered by Consultancy+ offers three main ways for a Contracting Authority to use the framework:

 

1. Named Supplier Service: The Contracting Authority knows the consultant/professional they wish to work with, and the supplier is already within the supply chain of the Managed Service Provider.

 

2. Named Supplier and Onboarding Service: The Contracting Authority already knows the consultant/professional they wish to work with, and the Managed Service Provider shall go through onboarding this supplier onto their supply chain of consultancy and professional services.

 

3. Full service: The Contracting Authority knows the service or the outcome they will require, and the Managed Service Provider shall support them in finding a solution or suitable consultant/professional to deliver the requirement and fulfil the desired outcome.

 

The contact form below can be used to get in touch with Consultancy+ to discuss your requirement in more detail, or you can contact YPO directly via [email protected].

Period: 01 October 2023 - 30 September 2026
Extension Opportunities: 1 x 12 months
