Public Sector

At 4C we partner with government, public services and regulated organisations to solve their most important problems. From addressing domestic and international societal needs to providing public services and resources.

Central Government

With increasing financial, social, and environmental challenges, central government is under significant pressure to deliver best-in-class public services whilst responsibly managing public money and maintaining public trust. Whilst historically efficiency savings have been to cut services or people, we see other ways of delivering these efficiencies. We work with central government departments to help them address key challenges by gaining deep understanding of their issues and taking bold action in order to drive value for money on service delivery.

Defence & Security

Defence and security public organisations are in an era of unprecedented change. The mission to defend and protect national interests is critical, whilst simultaneously modernising, reducing expenditure and transitioning to more sustainable practices. Our experts bring valuable insights and experience to help defence and security leaders at all levels improve their operations and supply chain performance, introduce efficiencies and enhance sustainability and resilience.

Healthcare & Social Care

The health and social care & community sectors face continuous challenge with funding, regulations, technology, public awareness, and emerging demand. At 4C we have a wealth of policy, commissioning and delivery expertise that enables us to see all sides of the demand, capacity and flow challenges of serving community needs.

We help health and social care providers develop and transform their services to meet the needs of the future generations whilst ensuring prevention and self-management are at the forefront of our solutions.

Local Authorities

Local Authorities are at the heart of our communities; delivering crucial services, improving health outcomes, tackling some of the most deep-seated problems in our society, anticipating future needs alongside managing our physical environment.

Our work also helps clients to harness their spending power, driving procurement and supply chain efficiency to deliver policy priorities by optimising the economic, social and environmental value they achieve.
