P2G

What P2G does

P2G is a London-headquartered, UK-wide advisory social enterprise structured as a Limited Liability Partnership (P2G Contract Support LLP) that delivers specialist PFI and PPP contract management services to the UK public sector. Founded in 2012 by Bruce Dalgleish and Russell Manley, the firm serves NHS Trusts, Local Authorities, Police Authorities, Central Government departments, and the Ministry of Defence across the full PFI lifecycle — from performance monitoring, benchmarking, and insurance/energy gainshare reviews through to asset condition surveys and the complex handback of assets at contract expiry. Its larger client engagements include advising Stockport NHS Foundation Trust on The Meadows handback (one of the UK's first healthcare PFIs) and the development of DHSC's Centre of Best Practice (CoBP) Survey Guidance, through which the firm has helped identify over £140m of defects across 34 hospitals and delivered cumulative client benefits exceeding £750m since 2012.

P2G's commercial model is professional services: revenue comes from project-based fee-bearing advisory mandates, typically sourced through direct enterprise relationships with senior public sector decision-makers, via Crown Commercial Service and ESPO framework agreements, and through partnerships with complementary law firms and NHS bodies (Addleshaw Goddard, Browne Jacobson, UCLH). Pricing is negotiated on a per-project basis and is not publicly disclosed. The firm supplements its advisory work with three proprietary tools — a PFI Helpdesk App (iOS/Android for real-time issue logging), a Mitigation Portal (online workflow platform for managing mitigation requests), and the CoBP Survey Specification (a structured asset condition and compliance methodology) — which differentiate it from pure-play consultancies and create client-side stickiness.

The firm employs 30+ professionals operating as a partner-led LLP, with no external parent company, no institutional investors, and no funding rounds disclosed. As a social enterprise, more than £250,000 has been donated to charitable causes since inception. P2G has expanded beyond the UK with an international PPP mandate for the Government of the Turks and Caicos Islands (in partnership with UCLH), and has deepened its policy footprint by contributing to the IPA Asset Condition Playbook and by appearing before the UK Parliament's Public Accounts Committee on PFI expiry.
