What we do for the independent sector

Most work of our work for independent clients concentrates on strategic planning and business development.

Growth remains the biggest issue facing our clients. As the purchasing and policy environment evolves, and providers consolidate, it is increasingly difficult for small providers to survive in this market. We help our clients with all aspects of growth, from winning new business to building partnerships and organisational development.

Tenders and winning new business

We help our clients to win millions of pounds worth of new business through tenders. Our long-standing experience in this area means we can make a real difference in getting tenders on the right track, ensuring that organisations sell themselves effectively.

Mergers, acquisitions and partnerships

We know and are known by all of the key players in this sector. Cordis Bright's consultants have worked with a very large number of providers and are well-connected at a senior level. We help our clients with all aspects of mergers, acquisitions and partnerships, from identifying potential partners to negotiation support.

Strategy and organisational development

As our clients' organisations grow, we help them to manage the internal changes and challenges that go with that growth. We also help with diagnostics when things are not going so well, and with identifying unsustainable and non-core services.

Our support ranges from strategic planning exercises to facilitating away days and providing one-to-one support for chief executives and directors. We also provide an Executive Recruitment service for independent sector clients.

In all cases, we offer advice that is fast, incisive and practical. We offer absolute confidentiality and trusted opinions, and are proud to have many long-standing and repeat customers in this sector.

Market analysis

We have an excellent in-house research facility and can provide a wide range of research and analysis services, from in-depth investigation of local market conditions to analysis of central government spending.

We offer two subscription services for the independent sector:
