Rethinking requirements

Black Pear holds a SACS consultancy commission with the Office of Government Commerce.   The OGC SACS consultancy service supports the government's planned efficiency and cost savings initiatives

This commission enables us to provide in-depth advice on property and facilities management issues to all government departments, non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) and local authorities, who may request support from the OGC Service Desk.  The support is on a pre-agreed fee basis, which eliminates the need for competitive tendering

The advice follows OGC Best Practice, including application of the 'Achieving Excellence' approach to infrastructure projects and services.  Our involvement in public sector projects includes strategic advice, Best Value reviews (as required by LGA99), project appraisals, and Gateway review support

Black Pear has developed a unique approach called 'Rethinking Requirements', leading to better definition of requirements, better selection of options and better value from support services and/or building project
