Case Study: UK Ministry of Defence achieves over £100 million in savings with PA Consulting

Securing value by supporting the implementation of a new strategic partnering agreement

The UK Ministry of Defence partnered with Babcock on a 15-year strategic agreement to improve performance and deliver better value for money across the naval support enterprise. PA Consulting was brought in as an independent advisor to help establish the transformation programme, governance regime, and performance measurement links needed to make the partnership work across organisational boundaries.

PA Consulting supported both parties in building effective management structures, ensuring the right information was available to track benefits, and independently verifying delivery of savings. The result was over £100 million in cost savings delivered in the first two years of the programme, along with stronger governance and assurance that the agreement was creating value for the UK Ministry of Defence.
