Advice on finance, audit, HR, health and community, education, infrastructure, ICT, and digital technologies for central government and the wider public sector.
Description
This framework provides management consultancy advice for central government, arms-length bodies, non-departmental public bodies and the wider public sector. It has increased the number of suppliers from previous frameworks and includes smaller suppliers. You can find suitable suppliers from the lots on this agreement using the new digital filtering tool.
The tool allows you to filter by specialism and region.
The lots are a hybrid of functional and sector-specific consultancy.
