Groupe Spqr Conseil

What Groupe Spqr Conseil does

Groupe SPQR Conseil is a privately-held French consulting firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Lyon, operating as a SAS with three wholly-owned subsidiaries: SPQR Conseil (main consulting), Populus études (territorial analysis using SPHINX and R data tools), and Citia (public procurement and policy advisory). The firm serves French public sector organizations, including territorial collectivities, EPCI, public establishments, associations, and medico-social establishments, offering strategic advisory and operational support across finance, public procurement, HR organization, childhood/youth policy, collective catering (EGALIM compliance), medico-social evaluation (HAS), and sports/cultural infrastructure management. The group employs 30+ specialized consultants and serves over 900 public entities across Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and nationally, holding OPQCM and Qualiopi certifications.

The firm's revenue model is project-based professional services consulting delivered through direct enterprise sales to public sector decision-makers, with no intermediaries. Service delivery spans consulting assignments, interim management mandates (Delta team, including administration provisoire assignments for distressed public entities), tariff outsourcing, departmental scheme support, and training programs delivered via the Formpro platform. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, consistent with French public sector consulting norms. Recent strategic activity includes multiple new service launches in 2025-2026 (interim financial direction, post-HAS evaluation, social needs analysis) and active participation in national sector congresses, indicating an organic growth strategy built on regulatory expertise and field-proven operational credibility rather than technology differentiation. The firm has no disclosed external investment and operates as an independent entity with no parent company.
