Where we work

Working across the sectors that keep the UK running

What we do

Three areas of expertise. One integrated delivery approach

Commercial Management

Commercial and Cost Management across the full lifecycle of a programme, from initial strategy, early estimating, cost planning and procurement through to contract administration, change control, valuation and final account. We provide clear commercial oversight at every stage, helping clients manage risk, maintain cost certainty and make informed decisions as programmes evolve.

Project Management

Delivering successful project outcomes through clear leadership, structured governance and disciplined decision-making. We keep scope, programme, cost, risk and stakeholder responsibilities visible and actively managed throughout delivery, ensuring issues are addressed early, accountability is clear and project teams remain aligned around shared priorities.

Project Controls

Planning, scheduling, governance, reporting and performance management that give programme leaders a clear, reliable view of delivery. We turn complex project data into meaningful insight, enabling timely decisions based on evidence, forecast performance and emerging risk, not assumptions or outdated information.

The cost tool, explained

What is the true cost of employing industry experts vs permanent staff?

We recognise that clients often want to build and retain their own in-house capability over the long term. Where a programme has the scale, continuity and duration to support this, we help create delivery models that enable a planned and sustainable transition to permanent roles.

For many programmes, however, permanent recruitment carries additional cost, employment obligations and management risk. Oxivity Consulting gives clients flexible access to proven specialists, with clear accountability and the ability to scale support around programme needs. Our resourcing model compares consultancy and permanent-employment costs by role grade and work package, helping clients understand when an in-house appointment becomes the most commercially advantageous option.
