Public Sector — Value-stream aligned procurement flow

Client: State agency

Context: Digital benefits + modernization

Situation

Awards took months, delivery was uneven, and stakeholders had little visibility.

What we did

• Project to value stream: grouped work around citizen journeys, not org boxes.
• Lightweight guardrails for buys under threshold; templated evaluations; rolling reviews.
• Outcome-based milestones to release funding incrementally.
• Capability uplift across internal and vendor teams.

Results in 4–5 months

• Faster awards for small, high-value packages.
• Predictable release rhythm, fewer escalations.
• Clear evidence trail for audits.

Why it worked

Smaller packages, steady cadence, and visibility beat “big-bang” projects.
