Waterman has been re-appointed to the Crown Commercial Services (CCS) Management Consultancy Framework (MCF4).

Our successful re-appointment will see us provide an increased range of services covering environmental, sustainability and infrastructure advice over the two-year framework.

Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is the UK’s biggest public procurement organisation and an executive agency of the Cabinet Office. MCF4 provides clients access to advice for a range of specialisms helping the public sector maximise every pound so precious resources can go where they are needed most.

The robust selection criteria required successful suppliers to demonstrate a track record of delivering the highest levels of professional advice, carbon management and cyber security. The framework is utilised by Central Government Departments and all other UK Public Sector Bodies, including Local Authorities, Health, Police, Fire and Rescue, Education, Charities, Third Sector, Housing Associations and Devolved Administrations.

Our appointment follows on from our work on MCF3 where we delivered multiple projects working with a range of clients including the Civil Aviation Authority, Network Rail, Highlands & Islands Airports, along with a number of local authorities.

Securing a place on MCF4 is a key success for Waterman and is testament to our innovative and collaborative approach to successful project delivery on the previous framework. We’re excited to continue our relationship with CCS, and look forward to supporting multiple public sector schemes over the coming years.
