Broad incumbents

• EY (Government & Public Sector): Big-4 advisory operating EY-Parthenon and Government & Public Sector practices that cover consulting, M&E, and digital transformation for public-sector clients across the EU and globally. Overlapping capabilities with Lattanzio's KIBS portfolio at much greater breadth.

• Deloitte (Government & Public Services): Big-4 global advisory with a dedicated Government & Public Services practice serving the same EU institutions, UN agencies, and member-state ministries Lattanzio serves. Overlaps in public-sector advisory and digital transformation but operates at substantially larger scale.

Competes for the same framework contracts as Lattanzio but with broader, global delivery capacity.
