Independent fairness advice for public sector leaders

Awards bidders can trust, even when they lose.

When a competitive process has to stand up to challenge, scrutiny and second-guessing, I provide independent, neutral oversight from the first draft to the final debrief, so the decision holds and the people affected can accept it.

What's usually on your mind

Most leaders call me because of one of these. They're the right things to worry about.

"What if we get challenged?"

Most disputes are won or lost the day the RFP is written. I review the rules before they're posted, so the gaps a challenger looks for aren't there.

"What if this ends up in the news?"

A process that's clear, consistent and visible can be explained to a council, a minister or a reporter. My fairness report gives you the record to stand on.

"What if the evaluators can't agree?"

I monitor consensus sessions and give real-time guidance, so disagreements are resolved against the published criteria and every step is documented.

"Will this slow us down?"

Fair isn't slow. Unfair is. I give guidance in real time so your team keeps moving, and re-tenders and challenges never get the chance to stall you.

Every decision has to pass three tests

Clear

Everyone knew the rules before it started.

Consistent

The rules were applied the same way to everyone.

Visible

The people affected can see how it was decided.

How I work with you

A fairness advisor should make your procurement stronger, not slower. I work alongside your team so the award you make is one everyone can trust.

Running a process that has to hold up?

Tell me a little about it. We'll talk through where the risks are and whether I'm the right fit.
