Camburg were commissioned by the Trust to scope a highly sensitive project - supporting the development of the organisation on recruitment, leadership development and the change programme for the locality restructure.
The four separate stages of work were scoped and commissioned as separate projects, with the combined value being in excess of the tendering threshold and being flagged as part of a spend review process.
However, given the sensitivity and criticality of time and works, the four separate projects were all awarded to Camburg to provide continuity and consistency of service, and cost.
The four separate projects have been bench marked against approved framework agreements to ensure value for money was being achieved and reported as part of the Trusts internal reporting mechanisms.
