Supporting Public Sector Organisations Through Complex Change

Public sector organisations continue to operate in an environment of increasing financial pressure, evolving citizen expectations, workforce challenges, regulatory requirements, and accelerating technological change.

VE3's appointment across Lots 1a, 1b, and 1c enables buyers to access business, procurement, and education consultancy services with confidence, drawing on deep experience of public sector operating models, governance requirements, and organisational change.

Across Lots 6a and 6b, VE3 brings both operational and strategic technology consulting expertise, helping organisations optimise current technology environments while building future-ready digital capabilities.

Through Lot 10, VE3 is positioned to support complex strategic programmes that require coordinated expertise across multiple disciplines, ensuring transformation initiatives are delivered successfully and generate lasting impact.

  • Business strategy, organisational design, and operational improvement
  • Procurement strategy, commercial advisory, and contract management
  • Education consultancy, governance, and institutional transformation
  • IT operations, service management, and infrastructure optimisation

  • Strategic programmes, transformation delivery, and programme governance

"The ESPO Consultancy Services Framework is widely used by public sector organisations across the UK, and securing positions across six lots reflects the breadth of expertise VE3 brings to its clients. From business and procurement advisory through to strategic IT and complex transformation programmes, we are committed to helping organisations address their most important challenges and deliver meaningful, sustainable outcomes. We look forward to supporting public sector organisations through this framework and contributing to the success of their transformation ambitions." - Leadership Team
