We are pleased to report an adjusted operating profit of £18.0m, despite the financial impact from COVID-19.

The UK Government has provided a clear strategic framework for UK infrastructure investment underpinned by long-term underwritten investment programmes to support the UK Government’s drive to level up economic growth and to meet decarbonisation commitments.

  • City-REDI Policy Briefing Series
    City-REDI Policy Briefing Series March Image Image 2018 Part B Carillion’s Collapse: Consequences Dr Amir Qamar & Professor Simon Collinson Carillion, the second-largest construction firm in the UK, were proud of their commitment to support regional growth and small-scale suppliers. As part of this commitment they directed 60% of project expenditure to local economies. Following the collapse of the firm, this positive multiplier effect became a significant, negative multiplier effect, particularly damaging to small-scale suppliers in the construction industry. The aim of this policy brief is to examine the consequences of Carillion’s demise, many of which are only now surfacing. One of the fundamental lessons that we can learn from Carillion’s collapse is about these ‘contagion’ effects. As we saw in the 2008 financial crisis, the businesses that underpin the economic health of the country are connected and strongly co-dependent. When a large flagship firm falls it brings down others. This does not mean we need more state intervention. But it does mean we need more intelligent state intervention. One of the fundamental lessons that the Government can learn from the Carillion episode is that it has a significant responsibility as a key customer, using public sector funds for public sector projects, to monitor the health of firms and assess the risks prior to issuing PPI and other contracts. 1 Introduction The collapse of Carillion, the second-largest construction firm in the UK, has had a significant, negative knock-on effect, particularly on small-scale suppliers in the industry. In total, Carillion was comprised of 326 subsidiaries, of which 199 were in the UK.

  • Strategic Suppliers to the UK Government
    Strategic Suppliers to the UK Government 2018/19 Update September 2019 Trusted insight on government contracts and spend Tussell Strategic Suppliers Update September 2019 Public procurement is a market worth 10% of UK GDP, making the government the largest and most influential customer in the country. The Spending Round in early September 2019 announced measures that will actually increase the size of public spending as a proportion of GDP for the first time since 2010. With both main parties talking up investment in infrastructure and an end to austerity this looks set to continue into 2020 and beyond. Despite this market potential, the last two years have been a turbulent time to be a major supplier to government. From the collapse of Carillion to a number of high-profile IT contract failures, many questions have been raised over the model of outsourcing and large contractors have often been in the news for all the wrong reasons. In a climate of public controversy, media scrutiny and investor scepticism about suppliers to government, it is easy to lose sight of the facts. Without them, it is impossible for firms to navigate a shifting market, for government to monitor value for money, or for the media to scrutinise public spending. That is why we think it’s more important than ever to monitor the Strategic Suppliers*: the 34 firms deemed so vital to the functioning of public services that the Cabinet Office centrally manages the government’s relationship with them. This report is the latest in our series monitoring government spend with the Strategic Suppliers.
