Advance Joins SME Alliance Partners on UK Government’s CCS Management Consultancy Framework Four (MCF4)

This milestone marks a significant step forward for Advance, enhancing the company’s ability to deliver bespoke, high-impact advisory services directly to public sector clients. 

Advance joins forces with an exceptional group of Small and Medium-sized Enterprise (SME) consultancies – Anturas, Movar, Plan Ahead, Firstco, Cooper Moss Rutland, and Infraco – forming a powerful alliance united by a shared commitment to quality, agility, and innovation. The SME Alliance combines the agility of small and medium-sized enterprises with the deep subject matter expertise of its partners, enabling public sector clients to access specialist skills and insights rapidly. 

“We’ve been working increasingly closely with our partners in the consortium, and to have that alignment recognised with a place on Lot 8 of MCF4 is a really positive step forward for recognising the power that aligned SMEs can bring to the table.  We look forward to showcasing what we can do together through the framework” said Al Simmonite, Managing Director.

The SME Alliance offers public sector organisations direct access to a consortium of specialist consultancies able to respond quickly and deliver measurable results. Through MCF4, the Alliance will provide strategic, operational, and technical advisory services that help clients meet their objectives efficiently and effectively.
