View all FAQsNEPO developed 20 overarching categories and over 380 subcategories to encompass the full spectrum available for Specialist Professional Services requirements. The full list of in scope categories is available upon request.
Consultants provide specialist services over a limited period, or are commissioned to perform a specific, finite or one-off project. Consultants are expected to provide the specialist skills and expertise which are not available within an organisation. Consultants are not normally commissioned to undertake tasks that could be viewed as “business as usual”. They may also provide an independent assessment of functions, situations, and projects.
There are currently three generally recognised models of consultants available:
(1) Multi-disciplined professional services and/or consultancy organisations that offer a wide range of specialisms at strategic, operational, and tactical levels with a global presence in the marketplace;
(2) Small Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) specialising in a particular market sector or field of expertise; and
(3) Stand-alone of sole trader SPS agencies focussing on specialist and technical consultancy and professional advice around a particular field, function or industry
