The Work
Reed in Partnership commissioned Inflect to deliver strategic insight on the UK’s evolving public procurement landscape, with a particular focus on consultancy services.
Through in-depth research and interviews with senior government and industry stakeholders, we identified key trends under the new Labour Government, including mission-led governance, a sharper emphasis on social value, and a shift towards decentralisation and in-sourcing.
Our report provided Reed with a roadmap to strengthen its positioning—highlighting its social impact credentials and alignment with Labour’s policy priorities—ensuring it remains a competitive partner in a changing procurement environment.
