Project Delivery

SIB support projects that are complex, high risk and have high visibility.  At any time, we are supporting around 50 projects/programmes at various stages of development.

Our Strategic Advisers have a wealth of experience in complex asset procurement and delivery. We work directly with clients to:

  • identify innovative ways in which capital investment can help to transform critical business processes and performance - including sourcing best practice from elsewhere;
  • speed up business case development - including effective management of external professional advisers;
  • manage interfaces with key internal and external stakeholders - including potential partners in other government departments;
  • identify appropriate procurement strategies (e.g. frameworks, strategic partnering, PPP) or develop new methods to improve value for money;
  • establish internal programme delivery teams and structures - including recruitment of new talent where required;
  • undertake soft market testing to increase competitive interest in projects;
  • apply EU and UK procurement law correctly – including new Competitive Dialogue procedures – and reduce the risk of legal challenge;
  • get a better deal through effective risk analysis and commercial deal structuring;
  • undertake effective commercial negotiation to close the deal; and
  • undertake benefits realisation studies.

SIB can also has access an enabling fund which provides targeted financial assistance for technical studies, economic appraisals, business case development etc.
