Government & Public Sector Bodies

Few in the industry can match the experience of this specialist group in delivering financial advisory, infrastructure and project finance work, audit, taxation and consulting services to government departments, local authorities, government agencies and not-for-profit organisations in the UK and overseas.

We have built our reputation on our commitment to deliver value-for-money through bespoke solutions which can only be achieved by working in partnership with our clients.   We understand the importance of delivering projects in a timely and efficient manner, be it our own advice or when advising on the successful delivery of projects involving third parties.   To this end, we’re proud to claim credit for delivering the fastest procurement for a major NHS project in the UK and to regularly lead performance tables for the delivery of Public Private Finance.   We are now one of the leading firms in the Government audit market, having recently become one of the largest providers of audit services to the Audit Commission, Audit Scotland, the Wales Audit Office and the Northern Ireland Audit Office.

Testament to our experience, we regularly provide input on policy including HM Treasury OGC's 'Guidelines for Financial Appraisal of Suppliers'; the PFU's 'Improving PFI Procurement'; advising on the drafting of the Public Private Partnerships Programme (4Ps);    and leading a committee for the development of the UK Charity Statement of Recommended Practise (SORP).

Services include feasibility studies, preparation of business cases, risk analysis, PSC development, drafting of documentation, development of payment mechanism, bid evaluation, procurement support, negotiation support, financing, funding competitions and tax advice.
