• Central Government – Consultancy Services
  • Central Government - Direct
The landscape of ICT Consultancy in Central Government is a very different and challenging place in post election UK. Talk of budget deficits and cuts in consultancy spending is not going away any time soon. Opportunities for business will be fewer and further between and competition will be fierce. What can you do differently?

You know that as a consultancy you are only as strong as your people. You can only currently tender for the work that falls within you consultants skills sets and you can only take on as much work as your consultants can commit to. The most frustrating thing for anyone serious about Business Development is having to say ‘NO BID’. This doesn’t have to be the case.

Generic, through it’s Central Government Consultancy Service division, has built and maintains numerous relationships with consultancy clients to allow them to bid for contracts that they would not have been able to previously by giving them the confidence to say ‘YES’. Yes to including open market resources to work under your umbrella, to taking on skills sets outside of your core, yes to a more flexible resource pool without having to commit to increased staffing costs.

Generic, through it’s supply of open market resources, has allowed numerous consultancy companies grow organically by allowing you to source work first then provide the manpower.
