Commercial due diligence of assets which are reliant on public sector markets is a key area of expertise for A4e Insight.  We have been providing commercial due diligence for both buyers and sellers of companies focused on public sector markets since 2005.  Our advice leverages both our own extensive knowledge of the public sector and a wider pool of knowledge and expertise within A4e as a whole.

Our work has been praised by both private equity and bank investors for its depth of understanding of public sector markets and drivers, and our ability to analyse, and explain clearly, complex areas of public policy.  We provide clear opinions on what is likely to happen in public sector markets in the future, as well as what is happening today, and assess not only the markets in which a company operates but also its ability to exploit those markets through effective sales and business development activities.  In doing so we draw on our deep expertise in helping companies improve the effectiveness of their public sector sales activity.

All our consultants have direct experience of the sectors in which we work.  We have broad experience across all the main public sector markets including central and local government, health and utilities; and across specific sub-sectors including schools, further and higher education, vocational skills, health and social care, housing, criminal justice, welfare/employability, facilities management, IT and business services.

In addition, as part of the A4e Group we can leverage the collective knowledge and experience of one of the UK’s leading public services providers, including extensive contacts at board and senior level with policy and decision makers across the political spectrum.

Recent examples of our work, including due diligence of London Care for Sovereign Capital, and JHP for LDC, can be found in our case studies section. Our previous clients include 3i, Graphite, August and ECI Partners among many others. Click here for a summary of previous assignments.
