Managed Service

Outsourced PMO & Fractional Project Management
for UK SMEs.

Complete project management office capability delivered as a flexible, managed service. We provide the governance, methodology, and hands-on delivery your organisation needs.

The Challenge

The Real Cost of Building a Permanent PMO

Many growing organisations reach a point where project delivery becomes critical to success. Strategic initiatives multiply, complexity increases, and the stakes get higher. You need professional project management infrastructure — portfolio oversight, consistent methodology, governance frameworks, and skilled delivery capability.

But building a permanent PMO creates significant challenges. Recruiting a PMO Director costs £90,000 annually in salary alone, before support staff, tools, and time needed to establish frameworks. The investment may not align with variable project demands, and if the person leaves, you're back to square one.

Our outsourced PMO service solves this problem. We provide complete project management office capability as a managed service — everything a permanent PMO would provide, with the flexibility to scale with your actual needs. You get enterprise-grade project governance, experienced practitioners, and proven methodologies without the fixed overhead and recruitment risk.

  • Team capability assessment
  • Knowledge transfer
  • Methodology training
How We Work

From Discovery to Delivery

We don't impose a one-size-fits-all model. Our engagement begins with understanding your specific context, challenges, and objectives.

Step 01

Discovery & Assessment

We understand your current portfolio, organisational maturity, pain points, and strategic priorities. This shapes everything — the governance model we recommend, the level of support we propose, and how we'll measure success.

Step 02

Design & Mobilisation

We design the right PMO operating model for your context, introduce your dedicated team, establish tools and processes, and mobilise within 2–3 weeks. No extended consultancy phases before value is delivered.

Step 03

Active Delivery

Your PMO operates continuously — delivering projects, providing oversight, reporting to leadership, and building capability. We become a trusted part of your organisation, not a distant advisory service.

Step 04

Review & Adapt

Regular reviews ensure the service continues to meet your evolving needs. As your organisation matures, we adapt — potentially transitioning to a reduced support role or knowledge transfer as you build internal capability.

Next Step

Discuss Whether Outsourced PMO Is Right For Your Organisation

We'll be honest about fit. If another service model makes more sense, we'll tell you.
