Help us shape our Managing Consultancy and Professional Services framework

We're currently developing the renewal of our Managing Consultancy and Professional Services framework, and we're looking to engage with customers who have used the framework. We are looking at ways to enhance the current offering and understand where there is a requirement to improve the solution.

The current solution is a Managed Service Provision with Reed Consultancy+ as the managed service provider. The routes available when utilising the service are;
- Named consultant/organisation - route to market for your preferred supplier, individual contractors & consultancy firms.
- Find me a person – Consultancy+ find the right consultant or organisation to deliver the requirement.
- Deliver me a project - Delivery of outputs including support with finding the right outcome for the requirement, specification writing and project planning.

We have a few questions to assist with the development of the new framework. We would appreciate you taking some time to share your perspective as a contracting authority. The survey will only take a few minutes.
