Purpose built for the public sector
– powered by SMEs
FulWard is an SME-led, multi-disciplinary property and construction consultancy. We provide advisory, consultancy, professional and technical services to the public sector via the GCA CPS2 Framework, Lot 1 General Infrastructure and Built Environment where we are the only partnership that is SME and B Corp led.
Value for the Nation
Value for the Nation is the Government Commercial Agency’s (GCA) ultimate ambition – helping the public sector get the best possible value from every pound it spends. FulWard was purpose built to deliver it: a genuinely new, forward-thinking delivery model that combines the capability and assurance clients associate with Tier 1 providers with the innovation, accountability and flexibility that only genuine SME leadership can deliver – creating local value for communities in the form of local jobs, opportunity and impact.
A new answer to an old default
One team, not a fragmented supply chain. Streamlined decision-making, not bureaucracy. Collaboration by design. SME agility. B Corp businesses committed to the highest standards of accountability, transparency, social and environmental performance, and continuous improvement.
So clients no longer need to choose between Tier 1 capability and the advantages of genuine SME leadership.
