Professional Services & Supply Chain

We specialise in working with companies who are aiming to work directly ‘client side’ with public authorities or wish to engage within the supply chain that supports Tier 1 Primes delivering services and construction.

We work with these clients to help them to understand how their services could benefit and add value either through direct contracting with public authorities or via the supply chain. We aid professional services companies and supply chain specialists to identify the innovation and difference that they can bring to Government.

This often involves building up a case to break into a sector and disrupt the traditional regime for technical and professional support. We can often identify and place individuals who have the right skills and end user experience — in disciplines ranging from P3M and requirement translation to design, construction management and quantity surveying — to help identify and realise such innovation.

We have worked with clients in developing strategies, then securing contracts ranging from the MOD Client Side Partner and Technical Support Provider positions to CCS Construction Professional Services Framework appointments and securing new Tier 2 Supply Chain appointments.

Case Studies

Since 2012 WaND has supported 30+ Clients across 150+ major procurements. Here are recent examples of work winning support

Metropolitan Police Hard FM & Engineering Services Procurement

The Metropolitan Police initiated a procurement competition seeking a single industry partner to provide hard FM and engineering services. The Met had decided to transform its relationship with industry, moving from a North and South model to a single partnering arrangement to maintain its complex, critical and diverse estate. This estate, covering 160 sites, includes non-standard assets ranging from aviation, stables, port and training facilities to micro assets such as 36,000 lockers. Our Client, a major UK FM entity, had targeted the contract as a new business opportunity and tasked WaND with supporting them in securing it.

Securing Major Construction Contracts that will change the future of the Defence Estate

As part of its Defence Estates Optimization Programme (DEOP), MOD sought Delivery Partners for 5 Regional and 6 Major Projects packages of accommodation and technical infrastructure, totaling £3.65Bn. Our Client considered achieving a significant role in DEOP as fundamental to its defence business.

Developing London’s Heritage – The New London Museum

The Museum of London are creating a new £340M museum in dilapidated market buildings in Smithfield by 2026. The new museum, once complete, will comprise over 26,000 square metres. The ambition is to create a museum that is truly London, that is appealing and meaningful for the diverse population of London and for visitors from across the UK and the world.

Central to the realisation of this ambition was the need to appoint a high calibre Construction Manager who would bring not only their technical expertise and experience but also a passion to share in the creation of what will be a new landmark cultural attraction for London. SRM were immensely passionate about securing this contract and they appointed WaND to help them succeed.
