Our delivery model

Senior-led from first meeting to final handover

Senior-led delivery focused on planning, delivery and achieving outcomes.

  1. Senior-led delivery

    Our Partners, Directors and Principal Consultants deliver every engagement.

  2. Embedded in your team

    Embedded within programs, taking carriage of work alongside your staff.

  3. Execution, not observation

    We run processes, develop artefacts and deliver work through to completion.

  4. Built for complex environments

    Structured for high-value, high-risk and time-critical Commonwealth delivery.

EMA value add

Additional support, included

EMA delivers maximum value for the Commonwealth by providing the following additional support alongside every engagement.

Capability uplift & knowledge transfer

We deliver focused workshops and embedded knowledge transfer across the organisation, to help elevate and develop internal capability in procurement, project management, evaluation design, financial analysis, probity, contract management and delivery risk.

  • Stronger internal capability
  • Reduced reliance on external advisors
  • More consistent and confident internal delivery capability

Reusable artefacts & delivery tools

We develop and hand over tailored templates, playbooks, checklists, decision tools and delivery artefacts as part of our engagements, ensuring practical methods are embedded within your team.

  • Retained, reusable tools for future procurements and programs
  • More efficient and structured delivery approaches
  • Greater control, consistency and defensibility in decision-making

Surge capacity & senior reachback

For active projects we provide access to additional discounted security-cleared senior practitioners and dedicated reachback support, so peak workload periods and complex or high-risk issues are appropriately managed.

  • Immediate access to senior expertise when required
  • Flexible scaling during high-pressure delivery periods
  • Continuity of delivery with reduced risk

Procurement as a Capability

Our PaaC approach treats procurement as an enduring organisational capability rather than a series of one-off transactions — combining delivery, capability uplift and reusable tooling in a single engagement model.

Where it applies

  • Agencies rebuilding an in-house procurement function
  • Programs with recurring, high-volume market approaches
  • Environments where audit defensibility is non-negotiable
