how to engage ME
Three routes, in increasing order of paperwork.
Route 1
Just talk to me
Every engagement starts with a conversation, and the conversation is free. I hold open slots on Fridays for a video call — no agenda, no pitch, no obligation. If Fridays don’t work, get in contact and we’ll find a time.
Route 2
Direct engagement
For consultancy, training and advisory work, we contract directly with RS Digital Ltd — a UK limited company, established 2006. Simple statement of work, sensible day rates, references available.
Route 3
Through a framework
RS Digital Ltd is an approved supplier on the Crown Commercial Service’s Digital Outcomes and Specialists 7 (DOS 7) framework — pre-agreed terms and a fully compliant route for public-sector buyers, from a verified SME supplier.

Digital Outcomes
Delivering teams for agile public-sector digital projects — you buy an outcome, not just a person. Publish your requirement on the Digital Marketplace and RS Digital Ltd can respond.

Digital Specialists
A single senior specialist placed directly into your team — delivery leadership, programme direction, or advisory. Run a specialist search on the Digital Marketplace and evaluate against your requirement.
You can verify the listing on the RS Digital Ltd supplier profile on the Digital Marketplace.
I’ve also delivered engagements through Bloom (the NEPRO framework) and PSR (Public Sector Resourcing — note that PSR roles sit inside IR35), so if your organisation already buys through one of those, that may be the fastest path. The right route depends on the shape of the engagement.
Not sure which route applies to you? Ask your commercial team about DOS 7 by name — or just talk to me first and I’ll walk you through it. I’ve been on the buying side of these too.
The short version
If you’re a government buyer, DOS 7 makes me easy to procure — and Bloom or PSR may work too. If you’re anyone else, we keep it simple and contract directly. Either way, it starts with a conversation that costs nothing.
