“This is the second time that our joint Councils have engaged SLC to undertake a major piece of work for us which is testament in itself. SLC bring such a personal and bespoke approach to their work and you genuinely feel they are working with you rather than for you.

Many consultants just produce a piece of work for you whereas Duncan and his team ensure they really get to understand your requirements and work with you to achieve your objective. In times when we do not have the internal resources and expertise their approach feels like a temporary extension of your own resources which results in a more personal outcome.”

The result was outstanding, exceeding all expectations – revenue savings of over £10M over the term of the contract, reduced risk to the Council and a new robust and innovative specification which extends the reach and impact of the service. We couldn’t have asked for more from SLC and would highly recommend them to anybody looking for procurement support.”
