Independent Assurance for Projects and Programmes
The Reality of Today’s Delivery Landscape
Even the most well-planned projects and teams can lose momentum. Scope creep, resource gaps, poor governance, and unclear accountability often creep in silently and derail progress. Add the pressures of complex digital transformations, regulatory compliance, or cross-border delivery, and programmes can quickly move off track, leading to missed deadlines, spiralling costs, and stakeholder frustration.
The challenge is not always execution. Often, it is lack of visibility. Leadership teams struggle to understand whether a project is truly on track until it is too late to course-correct.
That is where independent, expert-led health checks make the difference.
The Health Check Advantage
Our Team and Project Health Check model is powered by seasoned contractors and consultants who bring decades of delivery, leadership, and governance experience across industries. These are not auditors reading from a checklist; they are practitioners who have run global programmes, rescued failing initiatives, and embedded governance models at scale.
With over 25 years of global consulting experience, our experts have partnered with organisations such as IBM, BT, Cisco, AT&T, HSBC, Barclays, Capgemini, and the NHS. They know how to identify the blind spots that stall delivery, and more importantly, how to fix them.
Each health check is led by senior project and programme managers, solution architects, and transformation specialists. Every expert is rigorously vetted through face-to-face or video interviews by subject matter leaders, ensuring only the most credible professionals work with you.
Behind this capability is our exclusive talent pool of more than 100,000 contractors, including 10,000 immediately available, many of whom are passive experts not visible in the open market. Your health check is always driven by A-list talent who know how to turn insights into action.
What Our Health Checks Deliver
Independent Clarity
Our health checks provide an objective assessment of whether your project or team is set up for success across governance, methodology, skills, budget, and delivery.
Early Risk Identification
Seasoned eyes quickly identify bottlenecks, delivery gaps, and compliance risks long before they escalate into crises.
Practical, Actionable Roadmaps
We do not just diagnose issues. We provide clear remediation plans, prioritised using frameworks such as MoSCoW analysis, to ensure quick wins and sustainable outcomes.
Regulatory and Deadline Alignment
Our experts understand the realities of working in regulated industries including banking, energy, telecoms, and life sciences, and we align your project delivery with compliance checkpoints and TSA milestones to minimise exposure to penalties and disruption.
Budget and Timeline Discipline
By leveraging proven methodologies and automation, we help clients avoid runaway costs and missed milestones, with many engagements achieving delivery acceleration of up to 50 percent alongside significant budget savings.
Team Capability Uplift
We assess the skills, structure, and readiness of your team and, where gaps exist, we recommend targeted support or inject additional seasoned contractors to stabilise delivery.
Accountability from Start to Finish
Unlike traditional consultancies that hand over reports and walk away, our professionals take ownership of the outcome. They:
- Anticipate risks and prevent escalation
- Remove bottlenecks that stall progress
- Align delivery with your strategic objectives
This means you gain more than a diagnostic review; you gain a partner who will stay with you through remediation and delivery acceleration.
With Pro Contract Direct, you move from firefighting to forward planning with confidence, knowing your programmes are guided by experts who have repeatedly delivered under pressure.
