Policy, programs and procurement services

Enable climate adaptation and place-based responses through innovation in policy, programs and procurement

Supporting public sector clients with innovation across policy, program design and delivery, as well as innovative market engagement and procurement for transformative economic and social impact.

Overview

Our capabilities in legal, strategy and governance enable our team to assist the public sector in the development of policy, programs and strategic procurement for the transformation of industries, assets and places. By integrating the skills of transaction advisory with governance and strategy, and experience in social and environmental program delivery, our team are able to bring public sector agencies a unique point of view and real-world approaches to attracting investment and enabling transformation at organisation, city, regional, industry or national scale.

Taking a place-based approach to program design and service delivery has been demonstrated to improve environmental, social, and economic vitality. The approach is bottom-up and leverages the available resources, skills and capacity of a place in the development of solutions to local and broader demand. Our team integrates the bottom-up place-based approach to projects, with the structure of top-down strategy-led priorities and programs.
