“Acuity have been providing us with expertise to guide us through a major procurement and have been excellent in working constructively with us to not only ensure that we conducted the process in a robust and legally compliant way, but also that we stood the best chance of securing the desired business outcomes. They supported us from ensuring we articulated our requirements right through to contractualisation with the preferred bidder. They have been great at working within our team and with colleagues of varying levels of experience – the support has been fantastic. They have also managed the process well across both internal and external parties including bidders and our legal team.

“Acuity staff integrate themselves into the team and don’t have a “them and us” approach, which significantly improves the output of their work. They take responsibility for the work they undertake and don’t rely on permanent staff to provide detailed requirements. They are adaptable and have a can-do attitude.”

“Acuity have been able to quickly understand our business requirements and our partnership has been central to our future ways of working across all areas and functions. They supported ESFRS through a major change programme and where previously our strategy was short-term and vague Acuity have strengthened it through a period of engagement within our business, and with our partners and key stakeholders. This led to the development of a strategy that is now clear and robust enough to support the Service’s vision and aims. Their expertise took us to a position of clarity and as part of the Transformation Programme they supported us through a procurement project to achieve our outcome. ”
