How we work with departments and delivery partners.
Directly with departments
We run discoveries, design and build data platforms, stand up governance, and embed cleared specialists in your teams, with knowledge transfer built in so capability stays with your civil servants when we leave.
Inside larger delivery teams
We also work as a specialist SME partner within prime contractors' and systems integrators' programmes. For the Infected Blood Compensation Authority we mobilised an SC cleared squad in nine days, co-delivering with CGI under a flexible statement of work.

Questions public sector buyers ask us.
What does a public sector consultancy do?
A public sector consultancy helps government organisations plan and deliver change that they cannot staff or specialise in alone. For Mayfair IT Consultancy that means data, digital and technology work: modernising data platforms, putting data governance in place, writing data strategies that can be funded, supplying security-cleared DDaT professionals, and improving network security. The work is shaped around how departments are funded, assured and audited, not around a greenfield organisation.
Which government organisations have you delivered for?
Our published case studies cover HMRC, the Department for Work and Pensions, the Office for National Statistics, the Home Office, the Ministry of Justice (Justice Digital), the Cabinet Office (the Infected Blood Compensation Authority) and the UK Intellectual Property Office. Each case study sets out the challenge, what we delivered and the outcome.
Do you work directly with departments or through prime contractors?
Both. We work directly with departments and agencies, and as a specialist partner inside larger delivery teams. For the Infected Blood Compensation Authority, for example, we mobilised an SC cleared squad in nine days, co-delivering with CGI under a flexible statement of work.
What security clearances do your teams hold?
Our professionals hold clearances including the Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS), Security Check (SC) and Developed Vetting (DV), which lets us work on sensitive government programmes and infrastructure.
How can we engage you?
Engagements are structured as time and materials, a statement of work, or outcome-based, depending on the work. Most start with a conversation about the problem and the constraints, followed by a short discovery or a named shortlist of people. Contact us to discuss a requirement.
