Crown Commercial Service supports the public sector to achieve maximum commercial value when procuring common goods and services. In 2023/24, CCS helped the public sector to achieve commercial benefits equal to £4.9 billion - supporting world-class public services that offer best value for taxpayers.
Being named as a supplier on these frameworks is a testament to the investment RSM is making in its public sector practice.
Each appointment delivers huge opportunity to support public sector organisations across the UK with a range of services including business transformation, risk, restructuring and internal and external audit.
Alessandra Raja, Partner and Head of Central Government at RSM UK, said: “We’re an experienced advisor across the public sector and have made a strategic investment into our expanding UK team, while drawing together public sector expertise from across our global network, particularly the US, Canada, and Ireland. This has been recognised in our expanding presence across multiple frameworks, and we look forward to working alongside the UK public sector organisations to help tackle the big issues and promote sustainable change.”
Nick Atkinson, Partner and NHS Specialist, added: “The pace of change across Government and the NHS, in particular, has been staggering and shows no sign of slowing. The increased reliance on digital solutions to enhance delivery and keep organisations safe requires a partner at the forefront of this development. RSM continues to lead the way in providing expedient assurance and advice, as well as partnering with organisations across the public sector to provide sustainable solutions to improve the outcomes of the people who rely so much upon these services.”
The news follows significant investment in the firm’s public sector practice which has expanded by over 30% in the past two years, including the strategic hire of Alessandra Raja. She joined the business transformation team last year from PA Consulting where she built and led a team that specialised in end-to-end finance consulting for complex public sector programmes.
