Russam GMS is the longest established Interim Management Provider in the UK, with a 25 year track record of working with clients in the Public Sector. Since achieving our Catalist accreditation in 2006 from OGCbuying.solutions, our Public Sector practice has grown from strength to strength. Our vision is to become the number one supplier of interim managers in the Public Sector.
Interest in Interim managers in the public sector has risen steadily since the National Audit Office’s (NAO) most recent report in December 2006 raised questions about the scale and the cost of Management Consultants. Central government spent around £1.8 billion on consultancy in 2005/06, according to the NAO’s figures, while total public sector spending on consultants is estimated at around £2.8 billion for 2005/06.
Where appropriate, the interim management option allows our public sector clients to maintain a high level of capability, skills and experience without the management overhead.
Russam GMS has been awarded four Catalist (previously S-CAT & G-CAT) Interim Management Categories:
• Board/Executive
Committee Level
• Local Government & Education
• Defence
• Central Civil Government.
It is only one of eight firms selected by OGCbuying.solutions to provide Interim Management services across Central Civil Government.
